For anyone who is interested in the threatened Chapter Seven
bankruptcy on April 1 of the Louisville Orchestra and how
negotiations have sunk to that point, see the excellent series of
articles (presently four) by Drew McManus starting on this page:

I only wish the paper and TV stations here had someone who would take
the time and trouble to cover the story as thoughly as has McManus.
We wouldn't be in as sad a shape if there were.

Yes, we have, but...
It is actually more complicated than that. Newspaper guy who is
covering the story already knows about McManus because McManus has been
in contact with him for old articles (Newspaper made up it's mind
against the players very early in this matter - doesn't want to be
confused by facts). TV is complicated - one of the stations "broke" the
story before the others when it ignored a blackout on the story before
negotiations had broken off, so the other stations are softpedling the
story; the station that "broke" the story is owned by an orchestra board
member, so the coverage is totally one-sided (see parenthetical comment
about newspaper).
We are trying to hit the media now with stuff like this, a press release
put out yesterday:
