Dr. Maddy countered by employing college teachers and composers who, not dependent upon instrumental jobs, are not alarmed by Petrillo's threat. Last week he opened the camp as usual, said nonchalantly: "Now it's up to Petrillo. Actually [he] doesn't make a bit of difference. We're going on with our work...
