...Full Life. Handsome, well-knit (5 ft. 10 in., 165 Ibs.), professorial-looking in his rimless glasses, McCone quietly but energetically pursued a career of public service while advancing his private fortunes, became a director of the Stanford Research Institute, a trustee of Caltech, a regent of Loyola University of Los Angeles, helped form the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, took up gardening, golf.

The third movement, again in pensive tempo, gave the soloist another long melody that breathed nostalgically of twilight among ruins, then let it sigh into a noontime atmosphere with a passage in octaves, then into a recitative of murmurous beauty, where Oistrakh's instrument spoke in unevenly repeated notes. The solo cadenza started with simple triads in different keys, then confronted them with each other in a clashing dissonance, then became...
