Just based on his position, and the length of time he has held it makes him
one of the all-time greats.
The typo was in the NYPO original note, that wasn't misspelled, but the
syntax meant an entirely different thing. I wonder if they caught that.
Writing Adversary instead of Anniversary is quite a mistake that a spell
checker would not pick up!

I may not be a big fan of Drucker's playing,
but the man has obviously earned himself a
prominent place in the record of the world's
greatest clarinetists. Hats off to him.
