Bostonians love three things above all else: their Red Sox baseball team, the swan boats in the Public Garden, and the Symphony. In this oral history of Boston's world-famous orchestra,
Humphrey Burton hears from players and administrators, concert-goers, broadcasters and critics, as well as from members of the Boston
Brahmins, whose generosity has underpinned the organisation from
1881. The orchestra started life pretty much as a German ensemble, and today - with Seiji Ozawa as music director - it is still America's least
American orchestra.

"My books are in essence about illusion. I know in my own life I practise that plenty - pretending
Vietnam didn't mean anything to me. Yet here I am, 20 years later, writing about it." The drive to understand the trauma of the Vietnam War has spawned hundreds of books, the majority written by those who served there. One of the most acclaimed of these writers today is Boston-based novelist Tim O'Brien , whose books have become bestsellers. Michael Goldfarb
considers his work and the issues raised by his writing.

Students and staff take a break from classes and let their hair down with music both spontaneous and concerted, hot-air ballooning, Alpine horn displays and a real cannon to blast at the end of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
