      ‘‘PERHAPS YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HEAR the rehearsal”, said the voice from a house in Teplitzer Strasse. It was 14 November 1987, a gloomy Saturday in Berlin, and Simon Rattle was about to stand before the city’s fabled orchestra that evening for the first

      ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN

      He was a burly Dutch tenor,

      And I patiently trailed him in his waking and sleeping hours

      That I might not lose a story,—

      But his life was commonplace and unimaginative—

      Air raids and abdications kept his activities,

      (A game of bridge yesterday, a ride to Tarrytown),

      Out of the papers.

      I watchfully waited,

      Yearning a coup that would place him on the

      Musical map.

      A coup, such as kissing a Marshal Joffre,

      Aeroplaning over the bay,

      Diving with Annette Kellerman.

      Then for three days I quit the city

      To get a simple contralto into the western papers.

      Returning I entered my office; the phone jangled.

      The burly tenor was tearfully sobbing and moaning over the wire;

      Tremor and emotion choked his throat.

      This was his ominous message:

      A taxicab accident almost had killed him two and one half days ago;

      He had escaped with his body and orchid-lined voice—

      And not a line in the mornings or evenings!

      What could I do about it?

      Accidents will happen.

      THE BARITONE

      He was a wonderful Metropolitan singer.

      His name had been blazoned over these United States,

      And in Europe it was as well known.

      Records of him could be bought in the smallest hamlet;

      Nothing but praise had been shed upon the glory of his name.

      In May he was scheduled to sing in Chicago

      At a festival where thousands were to foregather

      To do praise to him and his voice.

      Two days before he left, he came to his manager's office

      With a sickly expression all over his rotund
