Essay: Reflecting on Living History

NPR's Nina Totenberg describes recent experiences that made her aware of living history. The first was the unveiling of a federal judge's portrait. The second was program notes at a symphony concert that mentioned her father, Roman Totenberg, as the soloist at the National Symphony Orchestra's first performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto.
