...around to his first opera, a three-hour-long adaptation of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, commissioned by the San Francisco Opera. Previn, who turned 69 in April, knows he's leading with his chin--nearly all the great opera composers of the past got started in their 20s or 30s--so he has taken out a classy piece of flop insurance: superstar soprano Renee Fleming is singing the role of Blanche Dubois. "Of course it's inhibiting to make an opera out of so famous a play," he says, "but even if you don't like what...
Prosecutors refused to rule out the possibility that the boys would be charged if new evidence is uncovered. But police are circulating pictures of two men in their mid-20s around Englewood. The 7-year-old's mother told reporters that one of the men had offered her son to us after the murder. Her son, she said, saw the man "hurt Ryan...

By the '20s and '30s, bike design was part of larger design fields. The 1923 BMW R32, with its clear, lean triangular geometry, is one of the most perfect expressions of Bauhaus sensibility ever devised. There were Art Deco machines too, with swooping exaggerated fenders, such as the early (1922) Megola Sport or the mighty, lumbering 1948 Indian Chief. The BMW and the Indian...
