Since September the venture has acquired some new features and a few additions to the "Board of Mavens" (Yiddish for self-appointed experts). The panel now includes cellist Yo-Yo Ma '76, violinist Itzhak Perlman, the Boston Celtics' Red Auerbach, the owner of Boston's kosher Milk Street Cafe, and Sheldon Cohen of Out of Town News...
...Sondheim, few American theater composers can match Lloyd Webber's strong classical background. His father, who died in 1982, was Composer William Lloyd Webber, director of the London College of Music, and his mother Jean is a piano teacher. His brother Julian, now 36, became a noted concert cellist. Partly because of his bona fides, however, he feels that his field "inhabits a no-man's-land." Classical reviewers, he observes, do not consider musical shows a part of their world, while drama critics do not always pick up on the subtleties of his music...

Leisure time is spent reading novels, her favorites being those of the Bronte sisters and Charles Dickens, playing the piano, and occasionally attending Japanese Cultural Society events...

Feldman claims damages of $90 million, saying the singer infected her during an eight- month affair that began in 1985. Feldman says that after she discovered her infection, Bennett told her, "I've had it for years. You get used to it. It's God's way of giving your sex life a rest." Bennett, who has produced medical records claiming that he does not have the ailment, has filed a $100 million counterclaim for defamation...
