The Buddy System

Seventy-five-year-old Buddy Zamoiski officially steps down as chairman of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, after 15 years at that organization’s helm. Zamoiski has a spectacular talent for talking money out of people for his various causes. “Except for Joseph Meyerhoff (who built the symphony a fancy new hall), Zamoiski probably is more responsible for the orchestra’s relative financial stability than anyone in its 86-year-history.”
