...strain of triangulating his career through New York, Montreal and Los Angeles became too much for even Mehta, and last year he said goodbye to Montreal. But he is still a jet-age conductor who hops continents to keep engagements. Besides normal coast-to-coast shuttling, he detours to make recordings and television films, frequently darts off to orchestra podiums and festival halls from London to Tel Aviv.

The major, with his right leg and left arm severely fractured, lay in a hospital bed, and talked about the war. Nervous, with his face showing the strain, he said he hoped the war could be "terminated"--he spoke almost throughout in military jargon. He said he agreed with the "Kennedy, Fulbright, Mansfield position," that we "need to take another look in regards to our Vietnamese policy." What about draft-card burners? He was against them.
