Surviving the crash that claimed the pilots' lives, Downey and his fellow agent, Richard Fecteau, were seized by Chinese forces.

While other prisoners of war found freedom, Downey and Fecteau remained trapped, their fate tied to a diplomatic stalemate.

Agents of Subversion reconstructs the story of a botched mission into Manchuria, placing it in the context of a wider CIA campaign against China. In the winter of 1952, the CIA flew a covert mission into China to pick up an agent. One of the Americans on the mission, a recent Yale graduate named John T. Downey, ended up a prisoner in China for the next twenty years. The U.S. government kept the public in the dark about decades of covert activity directed against China while Downey languished in a Beijing prison and his mother lobbied desperately for his release. John Delury sheds new light on Mao's campaigns to eliminate counterrevolutionaries and on his use of captive spies in diplomacy with the West.

When Aaron Copland thought of the Far West, he probably didn't have Wisconsin in mind, but Milwaukee was the perfect location to “road test” the new edition of Rodeo. That's where Philip Rothman went for the first rehearsals of a new edition of Copland's masterpiece that I prepared. The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of music director Ken-David Masur, agreed to play from a brand new set of score and parts to Rodeo. You might wonder, what was wrong with the old edition? Certainly, it's been played from thousands and thousands of times. When the piece was first published in the 1940s, a number of errors and inconsistencies crept into the parts. Although they've been corrected by intrepid orchestra librarians, it was time to get them straightened out once and for all. One reason for the inconsistencies was that the "Four Dance Episodes" from Rodeo, which is the version that most everyone is familiar with, is extracted from the full ballet. That version left a lot to be desired in the engraving department, so, with the support of The Aaron Copland Fund for Music, and in coordination with Boosey & Hawkes, the team at NYC Music Services put it all into modern software and made brand new materials for both the ballet and the Four Dance Episodes, with the goal of clarifying any discrepancies and making everything nice and easy to read. The Milwaukee players were great, and you can read more about it on the Scoring Notes web site. It must have been fate to go there, because in researching this piece, we stumbled across a fascinating interview that Copland gave in 1970 while visiting the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It's thanks to the library archives of that university that we're pleased to bring you that interview here as a Scoring Notes extra. Copland talks with professor John Downey about the iconic ballets like Rodeo, the various people and musical trends which influenced him, and the divergent aspects of his own work throughout his career. You'll also hear him talk about what was current at the time and discuss the future of music. This episode is co-produced with The Aaron Copland Fund for Music, with material kindly provided from the Archives Department, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries.

John Downey was the son, of a son, of a son of a carpet cleaner. When your professional lineage goes back to 1897, you may know a few things about the carpet cleaning business. And John does not disappoint! An inside look to the staggering history of carpet cleaning from a city in Central Ohio that has been the home to 4 multi-generational carpet cleaning businesses. Because it was a family business, you can imaging that things were not always smooth sailing and you would be right. John details some of the pitfalls of the "two boss" companies and how difficult that can be.John branched out into publishing, spring boarding from a volunteer position and literally changed the way the carpet cleaning and restoration industries received information until the internet took over in the early 2000's. John continues to this day as an owner operator of a carpet cleaning business, along with an Executive Directorship of CIRI and also continues to publish industry specific product because he just can't sit still and do one job at a time. John's story is similar to many in the industry, just a tad longer and possibly with more drama.
