Pearls Before Breakfast - washingtonpost.com

Pearls Before Breakfast at WashingtonPost.com tells what happened when a reporter from a major metropolitan daily arranged a stunt.

There is a great response to the Joshua Bell article by a NYC subway musician in her blog: www.SawLady.com/blog
She interprets the situation differently from the Washington Post reporters... I thought you might find it interesting.
