rocketfire continues with no cease-fire in sight. >> relatives of gaza's police chief who israel targeted in the single deadliest air strike since the war began. the police chief survived but at least 18 others were killed. including ahmed's parents and four siblings, a palestinian child now orphaned by yet another war. while in israel, nonstop air raid alerts are the new reality. >> we were under bomb alert and as the minutes pass, now we are being told that people can go out into the open area. this is the kind of reality we're living in. we will, do as i said, to put an end to this. nuclear threat. secretary kerry meets for a second day with his iranian counterpart in vienna. we'll get a progress report as the deadline for a nuclear deal looms. >> i will commit to everything and anything that would provide

credible assurances to the international community that iran is not seeking nuclear weapons because we are not. >> malala's mission. even as boko haram mocks the bring back our girls campaign, on her 17th birthday, malala takes a stand with the parents of the missing nigerian girls. >> i consider those girls as my sisters. they are my sisters and i'm going to speak up to them until they are released. super mario saves the day for germany. today why fans are getting a kick out of another big hit in the world cup final. good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. there's no let-up in the exchange of rocket fire in

israel and hamas. so far no casualties in israel which has that sophisticated missile defense system known as iron dome. joining me with the latest from both sides, martin fletcher from tel aviv and from gaza, ayman mohyeldin. martin, tell us about israel and what are the prospects for what many on both sides have been fearing is escalation to a ground invasion? >> i think it seems to be a matter of time. race with time between the cease-fire negotiations that are beginning to take place certainly in the minds of the international community which are hoping to come up with truce proposals for israel and hamas. it seems to be a race between time of cease-fire proposals and what will come first. israel says it's ready to go and the army is ready to go. i think it's pretty clear the government would agree not to go in but they'll do anything it takes in order to stop that rocket fire on israel.

>> and ayman, the death toll the palestinians don't have the advantage of the underground shelters. they don't have, obviously, iron dome. in that dense area, the death toll is mounting. >> absolutelily. in addition to that, you have to keep in mind gaza has been under siege for several years. the health infrastructure, medical infrastructure of gaza has been decimated. that's putting a lot of pressure on the hospitals here who are struggling to cope with the influx of casualties. backup generators of breaking down. they don't have the consistent fuel supply to keep electricity runs at smaller clinics and elsewhere. just recently we got a report from the united nations office of humanitarian affair and they are putting those killed, out of the 174, 80% of civilians. 21% are children. it gives you a sense of how much the civilian population is

bearing the brunt of this ongoing violence. >> but what about the hamas leaders say about the accusation that they are themselves violating the geneva conventions by putting their rocket emplacements in schools, in mosques, by using people as human shields? >> well, they definitely reject the labeling of using civilians as human shields. they definitely do place a lot of their paramilitary forces and activities in gaza because of its dense population in areas that would be qualified as residential. but a lot of the times the hamas military wing people we've been speaking to and others, not just on these past few days but in the past several years because this is an issue that always comes up against hamas. they will say that this is the nature of the battlefield that they have to fight in. that this is not an issue by design but as a reality of what gaza is like because it's so densely populated. the placement and location of wherever they can fight has to

be in the areas that sometimes have these casualties. but they definitely reject the label that they place civilians in harm's way as a result of using them as human shields. >> ayman mohyeldin in gaza, thank you so much. to get reaction to that, mark regev is the chief spokesman for prime minister netanyahu. good to see you. first of all, reaction to hamas' denials that they are putting their own population in jeopardy. thanks for joining umark. >> i think their denials are frankly ludicrous. the facts are clear. in fact if you go to the hamas interior ministry in gaza you'll see they've called upon the citizens of gaza to act as human shields. as my prime minister said yesterday, we've got missiles to defend our people and in gauze athey've got people to defend their missiles. that's what hamas does. there's no reason why they should put their command and control in the basement of a hospital or put missile stockpiles in schools.

they are war crimes. they shouldn't be doing that. and they have to be condemned for that. >> mark is it only a matter of time before the tanks are rolling? i know there was a brief incursion but the warning has gone out to people in northern gaza. we're seeing people fleeing their homes. the warning from israel. so is there about to be an invasion in at least northern gaza? >> so what we had earlier was a special forces on a specific mission to destroy rocket launchers. as to a larger ground incursion, that is a definite possibility. the military has received instructions from the government to be prepared, and they are ready to go. they've deployed their forces when the order is given. they'll be ready to move. the goal is as clear. we want to stop those missiles raining down on our cities. we want to stop hamas launching those rockets. and one way or another, they'll be stopped. >> there are some indications that this time in comparison to previous conflicts here, that

hamas has figured out how to hide the missile batteries and hide the rocket launchers. and that israel is hitting civilian targets and not getting what it really is after. >> i don't think to -- if you don't mind the pun, it's not rocket science. it's clear what they've done. they've disposed their missiles in civilian neighborhoods. forcing us to be in a very difficult combat situation because obviously you don't want to hurt civilians. that's not your goal. at the same time you have to stop the rockets being fired. and hamas has deliberately embedded its terrorist machine inside urban areas. they are using gaza civilians as human shields. so it's a military challenge and their strategy is clear. >> given the fact that you have got so much pressure now, calls from the united nations, calls from the european union for a cease-fire. the pressure, the political pressure internationally is growing, no matter what the

equities are on the ground. the situation is that on one side you've got missile defense. and on the other side civilian populations and people dying in large numbers. how long can you politically withstand the pressure for a cease-fire? >> we've heard from world leaders across the planet, from president obama, prime minister cameron, chancellor merkel, president hol llanhollande, pri minister abbott in australia and harper in canada, we've heard the same message that these rocket strikes from gaza into israel, that their attempt to bombard our cities and to kill our people is unacceptable and that's being condemned. and that israel has a right to defend itself against these attacks. that's been an unequivocal message from the international community. of course, we share the concerns of the international community about collateral damage, about innocent civilians getting

caught up in the conflict. but it must be clear, israel is doing what has to be done to protect our people and we're making every possible effort in a very complex, combat situation that has been forced upon us by hamas to be as surgical as is humanly possible in that difficult combat situation. and ultimately, hamas bears responsibility for those human casualties because it's hamas that has established its infrastructure amongst the civilian population and is using that population deliberately bringing them into harm's way. >> i want to ask you about iran. and iran's alleged responsibility for this because many people believe that the longer range missiles are coming from iran and from iran smuggling. the foreign minister zareef was interviewed. >> hundreds of innocent men, women and children have been slaughtered, almost 100 people have been killed, over 500 have

been wounded, in gaza. and the united states is not taking any action. we know that all the weapons that are used by israel in order to attack civilians in gaza have been provided by the united states and we don't see any move by the united states to condemn that. >> what hamas firing rockets into the country of israel. >> -- to use the security council in order to put an end to this. we call for an immediate end to all these activities. >> you condemn hamas? >> we do not condemn people who are defending themselves. >> what about the apparent -- he brushed it off sort of denial, nondenial/denial, but what about iran's responsibility for the weaponry? >> first of all, i mean, what we heard now was indeed entertaining. this coming from a man who represents the ayatollah regime that brutalizes iranians

internally, that is directly responsible for the massacres going on in syria and he suddenly is preaching international law to the international community. is there no end to cynicism? antipockeracy. as to the aspects of our question, some people in the international community have been surprised by the fact that hamas and gaza has rockets that can reach the very heart of our country, to reach tel aviv and jerusalem. it was not a surprise for us. hamas has been building a very formidable terrorist military machine. and we're aware of that and we know that iran has played a crucial role in supporting the building of that regime in providing weapons and know-how and training n fu ining and fun that hamas machine. now i believe the united states, state department, clearly says about iran's role in supporting terrorism globally, i think it's fair to say that iran is the number one state sponsor of terrorism and this plays on to

what's going on today in vienna. we simply cannot allow this number one terrorist regime on the planet to get its hands on nuclear weapons because if iran succeeds in becoming a nuclear threshold state, they will in the end get nuclear weapons and then you have that alliance or that coming together of terrorism and nuclear technology and nuclear weapons technology. that's something that has to be avoided at all costs. >> mark regev, thank you for joining us from tel aviv. much more ahead here on "andrea mitchell reports," including what could be the opening salvo to the 2016 presidential primary fight. hey pal? you ready?

i disagree with senator paul's representation of what america should be doing. and when you read his op ed in "the wall street journal," he talks about basically what i consider to be isolationist policies. and america can no longer come back on to the continental united states and draw a red line around the shore of america and think that we're somehow not going to be impacted. >> rick perry firing back at rand paul. kicking off the first all-out exchange of the 2016 republican primary season, we think. neither has even announced for the presidency yet. perry's take on paul strtriggera scathing response. senator paul said there are many things i like about texas governor rick perry, including his stance on the tenth amendment to the constitution but ark parentally his new glasses haven't altered his perception of the world or allowed him to see it any more clearly. joining me for the daily fix,

ruth marcus. this is what some might commonly call a catfight. >> if the cats were of a different gender, they might. and as i was -- first of all it was kind of a nice line. boom. but think about if it had been two women politicians talking to each other that way. or even one male talking about a woman's glasses. only men can get away with that kind of thing, i think. >> but the realan taganism is that rand paul is gaining a lot of weight as the most active republican on the preprimary, pre-election phase. and the one sort of draw back he has among traditional republicans is the isolationist aspect of his foreign policy. >> you know, it is among traditional republicans a draw back but it may be very much in keeping with the set of voters that he is appealing to.

he has been a little looser on immigration. a little looser on some social issues. and sort of his libertarian streak comes out there. so he's been appealing to a sort of, what i think of as the potential younger republican demographic. and as he points out in his politico piece there is this strain of republican voters who have just had it with american interventionism and particularly in iraq. >> speaking of american interventionism, there is a lot of concern among some foreign policy experts about the president's west point speech. that basically, he went to a military academy facing these young men and women who have just graduated and were about to face an obligatory five-year tour of duty defending america and said basically, we're not going any place anymore. i mean, that's a vast oversimplification but the clear

signal to friends at home and abroad is that we are not going to be intervening. >> and, you know, the president is the president in part because he came out early against intervention in iraq and hillary clinton is then opponent, future secretary of state, was supportive of intervention, voted for the authorization. so this is a strain that is not just something that the president head pushed but that cuts across voters in both parties. and i think that it's not just people in terms of obama, president obama being upset about his west point speech, but i think there's a lot of criticism, much of it legitimate, about how he has put that policy into action. and particularly when it comes to intervention or nonintervention or nonaid or nonadequate aid when it comes to the syrian rebels which has created a lot of the enormous problems we're facing now in iraq. >> getting back to rick perry,

rick perry seems to be reverting to the rick perry of the early primary debates where he took what seemed to be a consistent and principled stand in favor of educating some of the immigrants who came from undocumented families. and then tried to change when it was perhaps too late as he headed into the caucuses. >> i like the old rick perry. and i think it's really important as you watch. i've been agonizing about this and wrestling with how to write about it because as with everything in foreign policy, there are no easy answers here except in this case, the lack of easy answers involved children. and so i think to the extent that we hear voices in both parties expressing some kind of humanitarianism and reason and understanding, that these are innocent victims of either wars in some cases or terrible economies and terrible drug trafficking in other cases and gang violence.

just shipping kids back or treating them like the word was invading armies or invasions, that's just not a good word to use when you're talking about children. >> which is a perfect transition to our next guest. >> that was my plan. >> which you did so brilliantly. as the tragic flow of children as ruth was just discussing to the border continues, today on msnbc's new 10:00 a.m. eastern program, jose interviewed a survive of the treacherous crossing. he called her maria to protect her identity. her pain was very real. >> now that you are near the united states, are you worried you will be deported? >> si, yes? >> yes, because i arrived to this country without papers, without any permission i arrived just to save my own life. so i could continue my dreams, so i could help my family.

if you are deported it would be a tragedy and a certain death for me. >> and we will be posting all of that online. california congresswoman linda sanchez is a member of the congressional hispanic caucus and joins me now. congresswoman, that was just part of an interview that jose diaz-balart did today which is heartbreaking and only one of thousands and thousands of stories. it seems from our reports down on the border, from our own mark potter that the flow is beginning to decrease somewhat, perhaps the messaging, perhaps enforcement is beginning to take hold. what do we do in terms of policy going forward? >> yeah, well, that's a tough question. there is really only one way that we're going to stop that flow entirely. and that's if we stable -- help these other countries stabilize and fight the violence that is sweeping through those countries. you know, as a united states as

a world leader, we are very good about telling other countries that they must accept refugees from syria or ethiopia or darfur, but when it comes to a humanitarian crisis on our own border involving children no less, you hear this nativist, isolationist voices saying that, oh, just ship them all back, send them all back. and what's clear is that each one of these cases needs to be evalua evaluated. they need to have due process. and choking the funding to allow that process to go forward isn't going to expedite the removal of anybody. we need to fund the president's request to try to help process these children, find out who does qualify for refugee status or asylum and try to connect these children with their parents. >> mark potter, as i said, was along the border and in the rio grande. and here's an excerpt from one of his reports this weekend on this dangerous crossing.

>> this afternoon, we're along as they find a group of mothers and kids from honduras who traveled 13 days before crossing the rio grande. among them, a nervous little girl, 7-year-old amy who says she's alone here without relatives hoping to find her mother in the united states. when asked where her mother lives, she doesn't know but says it's written on a piece of paper. at first she can't find it in her clothing bag but then remembers with great relief it's in her back pocket and gives it to the agents. amy the mother was in north carolina, according to the paper, and she will be reunited with her mother according to hhs policies. but what about the money that is needed, the $3.7 billion. you are hearing over the weekend from your republican counterparts in the house they are not going to go there. they think it's either too excessive or they don't like the way it's structured. what is the prospect for getting

this through the congress? >> well, you know, i find it incredible that they are the ones that are crying the loudest for us to send these children back. and yet they are choking the bottleneck part of the system which is the processing of these claims and the hearing of these claims by immigration judges. so, you know, on the one hand they ask for something they want and on the other hand they completely stymie the rational, reasonable path to allow that process to happen. i don't know how you convince people who are so entrenched on this idea that, you know, shut down the border, militaryize the border and just completely turn into yourself and have nothing to do with the outside world. i might add that a big problem with why these children are coming to is because their parents have been here and if we were able to pass comprehensive immigration reform, something that a majority of americans regardless of political party believe in, that many of these children would qualify to be

reunited with their parents and their parents could come out of the shadows and get on a pathway towards citizenship. and yet they've been completely unwilling to even allow a vote on the house floor. soy there is much to blame for this problem as they love to point the finger and blame the administration or anybody else. you know, this is a set of circumstances that has been, you know, bubbling up for a long time and it's finally come to a head. now they are scream with their hands up and their hair on fire that something needs to be done while they continue to sit on their hands and do nothing. and it's unconscionable. >> linda sanchez, thank you. congresswoman, thanks for being with us today. and now to that wild finish at the world cup in brazil. the clash between two soccer tight titans, germany and argentina. angela merkel and vladimir putin were on the edge of their seats during the 13 nail-biting minutes before the first and

only goal. the winner came in extra time from mario gotze, now hailed at supermario. while argentinargentina's lione came up short failing to break through the tough german defense. also a winner, this fashion statement from angela merkel. trending online as soon as the soccer inspired handbag was spotted by fans. as germany celebrated its first world cup since 1990, the loss triggered rioting in buenos aires. police arrested about 60 people after using teargas and rubber bullets to break up the crowd. and even piano tuners were just as simple? thanks to angie's list, now it is. we've made hiring anyone from a handyman to a dog walker as simple as a few clicks. buy their services directly at angieslist.com no more calling around. no more hassles.

trying to kickstart the stalemated nuclear negotiations with iran before a july 20th deadline to those talks. kerry met again today with iran's foreign minister zarif who also sat down wither own david gregory for "meet the press." >> you won't commit to a specific number of centrifuges. another way of saying that is you won't commit to dismantling the bulk of your capacity. >> i will commit to everything and anything that would provide credible assurances to the international community that iran is not seeking nuclear weapons. because we are not. >> mali nasr joins me now. importantly worked with richard holbrooke on afghanistan, iran, iraq and every other issue with the late richard holbrooke. thank you for breeg with us. first of all, what zarif said,

the stalemate seems to be the level of enrichment they are willing to commit to and the level of transparency still, despite u.n. observers. what they are willing to say they have and are willing to disclose. >> the problem for both sides is their own domestic constituencies. the united states cannot agree to a number of centrifuges that then the congress and american public would balk at and the iranians cannot agree to a number or the world dismantle which would cause hard-liners in iran to oppose the whole deal. the problem is how do you market this to your own constituents. >> how do you explain it back home? >> exactly. >> the problem from the iranian standpoint is the ayatollah has final say over any nuclear agreement. that's his account. but you've got this more moderate -- i hesitate to use that phrase but you have rouhani

and the foreign policy officials who might want an agreement but know that it has to -- >> if your negotiators are enthusiastic about it because they were and this would be dead in the water but for now the ayatollah's position in iran is that he wants the negotiations to go forward but he want a deal that he thinks, a prorks tects iran's equities and also protects him in iran. ultimately he has the final word but that doesn't mean he's immune to political backlash back home. >> is it likely they will reach july 20th and both sides will find it in their self interest rather than cutting them off. >> i think we're going to see an extension. both sides are positioning this not to be seen as a fail are of the talks but rather as the success of the talks. so they are complicated. too big to solve by july 20th.

we've made a lot of progress. why don't we get an extension. i don't see any evidence that either side is trying to prepare their publics for a deal on july 20th. >> and briefly, i want to tap into your vast historical knowledge on afghanistan. had abdullah abdullah crying foul that there was fraud. and the election could have led to him creating a separate government. kerry flies into the rescue. saying you're going to audit every one of 8 million ballots in a war zone is complicated. it's going to take forever. >> that was the only choice. >> these were illegitimate the minute abdullah challenged them. after that, any government, whether it was a compromise, would have been seen as illegitimate. we have a flaw of the moment. you have to go back and count every vote and hope you come out with a clean result. also abdullah compromised with us last time around. he agreed not to go to a second round of elections who strong armed him into that.

i don't think he's ready to sort of bow out to the second elections he thinks he's been cheated out of. >> thank you very much, val vali nasr. always great to see you. army sergeant bowe bergdahl is ready to return to active duty. the military officials telling nbc news the former p.o.w. is now in the final stages of reintegration. that's their word. at ft. sam houston in san antonio, texas. bergdahl will likely be assigned a defrk job on the base and for the first time since his release from captivity, he'll be free to leave the base without a military or medical escort. still not known whether he's finally been in touch with his parents. but berg doll is now believed to be ready to be questioned for the first time by military officials who are investigating whether he dezertsed his post in afghanistan back in 2009.

yesterday. probably will be celebrating for a long while to come. german chancellor angela merkel took it all in from the stands sitting very close to russia's vladimir putin. a notable arrangement that probably had some state department officials a little concerned, considering the recent strain in u.s./german relations. i'm joined by the german embassy philip ackerman. >> congratulations. >> thank you. really, the nation is euphoric. we are celebrating day and night and even at the embassy, people have lost their voices overnight. >> i'm glad you still have your voice and oare -- i shouldn't sy sober enough, i'm not sure how you celebrate, but it must have been quite a night at the embassy. which is quite nearby us. so you are neighbors. but i do want to ask you about this strain in relations. the foreign minister steinmeyer met over the weekend in vienna with john kerry who had the unfortunate task of facing -- coming face to face with the top

german diplomat over this spy issue. now we know from germany and acknowledged by the u.s. that two germans were found to reportedly or allegedly being spying for the cia. one was a defense attache or some defense official and the station chief has been asked to leave berlin. >> for the sake of the truth we have to say both cases are still under investigation but in one case we have strong indication this might have been the case. so i think that there is indeed a growing concern in germany about the question and how intelligence will and should cooperate in the future. and what concerns us in this context the most is that there is a growing anti-american public sentiment. if you see the polls now, less and less people do believe that the americans are our friends. we have now not even 40% trust

the americans. and that's, you know, seeing the fact that we have to cooperate in so many fields is a very bad situation. >> similarly, there's a sense in america, embarrassment, yes, over this and the fact that angela merkel's cell phone was eavesdropped upon by the cia. that infuriates americans as well as germans. there's also a sense that germany is not being tough enough on vladimir putin. that german economic interests are dictating the way angela merkel perhaps willingly or not has to deal with putin. >> the ukraine is just a crise wris this corporation is so crucial between the americans and germans. i think germany is in some way an -- when it comes to the ukraine crisis in europe. we've seen chancellor merkel coming here in the beginning of may and really being in sync with what the american government develops as a policy. i think so far we have been extremely close until very, very good together in a way.

but when you see what, you know, german public thinks of this whole thing you'd be surprised to see that people say, why is putin so bad? the americans are doing the same. which is, of course, totally irrational. we know that. but it overshadows basically everything. we do ukraine, we do afghanistan and you have still this growing american -- anti-american feeling. i think that's where we have to start to work on them. that's worrying for us. >> does president obama have to call angela merkel and explain this latest flub. >> they are in regular thread of communication. so have others in the government. yesterday our minister met secretary kerry in vienna and they had a very good talk as far as i hear and they have dealt with these questions also. and i think we wait in the coming weeks and months to have some ways from the american side, whether one can, you know, improve on this cooperation. >> philipp ackerman, thank you

so much. we can agree on soccer. >> thanks. you had a great team, by the way. no wonder with a german coach. >> let him do for us what he has previously done in germany. >> next time. >> thank you so much. coming up, malala's new battle. on her 17th birthday, why she's in nigeria and not giving up the fight to bring back our girls. vo: david's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. the summer of this.mmer. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. where memories will be forged into the sand. and then hung on a wall for years to come. get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at $150 dollars or less.

yousafzai travelled to nigeria promising to continue the fight for the girls' freedom. i'm joined by the editor of nbcnews.com's asian america. you know malala from birmingham and covered her recovery. and this is just another example of the courage and the vision of this young woman. let's talk about this nexus between malala, her campaign and boko haram. >> absolutely. you know, we've seen malala grow up so much over the past couple of years. it's hard to imagine she was nighting for her life just a couple of years ago. this sort of thing, you know, going to a place where something lines up with her campaign, her wish to get every child across the world a basic education. this is exactly what the power of this 17-year-old is. she did it previously by going to the syrian/jordanian border and meet with refugees there. she's raised some funds over the past few years. the fund in total has raised $2 million. specifically for nigerian

education organizations. they raised about $200,000, not an insignificant amount but certainly not the kind of money you talk about from other places. but this is the power of what she does. she shows up, gets people talking about the issue again. she shows heridarity and the theater of information warfare. guys like boko haram on one side issuing these chilling messages. these victims in the middle. these 200-plus girls who are going through god knows what an a daily basis. and on the other side, people like malala. people who continue to bring it to the forefront and make sure it's not an issue that becomes forgotten. >> and she can't be ignored. the u.n. declared malala day on her birthday. she's meet with president jonathan in nigeria who is widely criticized for having done not nearly enough to try to bring these girls back to safety. their families are just bereft at the thought of them living in

the forest under god knows what circumstances. malala has put out a video. the i am stronger campaign video. let's watch. >> weakness. fear and hopelessness died. strength, power and courage was born. >> she was determined. >> she was stronger than violence. >> she was stronger than oppression. >> she was stronger than fear. >> what are you stronger than? show it to the world on this malala day. >> and nicholas christoff wrote in "the new york times" this weekend to remind all of us that we have, with everything else that's happened, iraq and syria and iran and afghanistan's elections, we have all stopped talking about those nigerian girls. he wrote, a fierce ambition to study explains why those 219 girls in northern nigeria showed

up to take their final xams. even though they knew the risks of terrorism. some of those girls dreamed of becoming teachers, doctors, lawyers and now they may be enslaved in a forest and perhaps married off to islamic militants. thanks to nick kristof, we're not going to forget. thanks to malala and to you, amna, we just have to keep talking about this. >> absolutely right. i think the power of people like nick kristof and malala, only 17 years old. they continue to make these issues heard, even when the whole #bringbackourgirls campaign died off. she was one of the early backers. they had celebrities and politicians all joining in, everyday citizens suddenly carrying about the cause of nigerian education which is not something most americans think about on a dale daily basis. this woman can show up and re reignite that conversation and get people to care again. this new i am stronger than

campaign has spoken to that. she's written letters to world leaders. asking them to pledge more money from education and now she's getting millions of dollars in response to the global partnership for education. this is a young woman at a young age of 17 that is getting things done. we need voices like her to continue to get these issues talked about. >> thank you so much, amn amna nawaz. a world renowned conductor has died at the age of 84. his beloved castleton music festival, the grounds of his own form in virginia's valley. he began his musical life as a 5-year-old violin prodigy and rose to become conductor once of the nbc symphony. eventually of the i have e vien cleveland phil harmonics. he is survived by his wife and
