If the captain of the Pueblo was instructed never to use his machine guns, something is wrong with our leadership. Time and again military units of the U.S. have been insulted or knocked about because a cold-war enemy shrewdly guessed that the unit would suffer such treatment...

...Ozawa, the move seems a shrewd one. The pressures of conducting the top orchestras could cramp or even crush a youthful career. San Francisco offers him a unit that can grow with him as he broadens and deepens his repertory, and it will require him to conduct only 17 of the season's 35 weeks.
