Soldier of Fortune
On the surface, it doesn't seem like an equitable trade at all. A soldier sells his soul to the devil for a book. But it turns out to be a very special book. It can predict the future of the economy. No doubt many Washington pundits would be willing to strike a similar bargain these days. It's Igor Stravinsky's "The Soldier's Tale," and we'll hear it today by the London Sinfonietta, in concert in Minneapolis.
