  1. Donald Richie dies at 88; interpreted Japan for the West

  4. Zubin Mehta's heady days as Los Angeles Philharmonic music director

    Bombay born and Vienna trained, debonair enough to impress Hollywood and with a swashbuckling podium style, Zubin Mehta conducted his first concert as music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic 50 years ago.
