Talk:Karl Elmendorff

message: I decided to move this quotation, which I originally put in the article, into the discussion section. The reason is that it is strongly opinionated and conflicts with other music reviews that I have read that suggest that Elmendorff was a solid and able conductor. The fact that he was invited to La Scala indicates that his supporters probably have evidence on their side. Below is the original quote from Time magazine. According to the journalist, 
Aged Karl Muck is too frail now to conduct. Wilhelm Furtwangler is in high favor with Hitler but at odds with Frau Wagner because he felt she favored Toscanini. Fritz Busch is no Jew but the Nazis took his Dresden job away from him because they felt he had Red sympathies. Leo Blech who is a Jew has been permitted to keep his Berlin State Opera post because Kaiser Wilhelm gave it to him. But it is doubtful if Chancellor Hitler will want to grant Blech any more favors. Consensus last week was that most of the Festival performances would be directed by Karl Elmendorff, Bayreuth's staff conductor, a man of mediocre talent who in past years has turned out stupid performances shoddily rehearsed.

thread_title: Medications cause Niemann-Pick ???

message: I may be wrong, but I feel this sentence has a grammatical issue
Both types C1 and C2 Niemann-Pick disease are most commonly characterized by onset of ?? in childhood, although infant and adult onsets are possible.
Onset of what? If its correct, is it possible to make it more available as I can't sincerely be sure I am getting the message.
Due to the inherited genetic nature of this disease, the beginning of the diesease cannot be specifically attributed to one factor other than the defective genes in the affected individual.  It may have something to do with the failure of cholesterol transport.  Due to the number of competiting theories as to why the cholesterol transport fails in the first place, it is difficult to pinpoint one cause for the disease. Maybe a physician could help explain further?

thread_title:  Chinese treatment of pows 

message: The article cites two different figures for the number of KATUSA soldiers in RCT-31 at Chosin Reservoir: 700 and 750. However, Seelinger didn't give the source for 700, and Vallowe was cited but he actually gave the number 1,500, not 750. So which one is correct? "31st Infantry Regiment SITREP September to December 1950" was also cited, but since no page number is given, I can't verify the number with it.
31st Infantry Regiment Association says there are 1,857 KATUSA in 31st IR, Vallowe says there are 1,873 KATUSA in 32nd IR on Sep. 19, 1950. Assuming more or less equal distribution of KATUSA among battalions, two battalions of RCT-31 would have around 1,200 KATUSA. 700 or 750 seems simply too low, as it would mean a very skewed distribution of KATUSA among battalions of 31st and 32nd.
