...Simon has become Broadway's leading comedy writer. His Come Blow Your Horn opened on Broadway in 1961, ran for 85 weeks, and has now been metamorphosed into a Frank Sinatra movie. Last year, commissioned by Producers Cy Feuer and Ernie Martin to turn Patrick Dennis' Little Me into a musical, Simon got a brainflash, wrote all seven of the major male roles for Sid Caesar, creating one of the season's better box-office draws...
Eventually they made enough money to move away from home, precipitating the family fireworks that exploded on Broadway and the screen as Come Blow Your Horn. "Of the two of us, Doc was always the shy one," remembers Danny.

In 1895 Braun's eldest son, Mauricio, married Menendez' eldest daughter, Josefina; joined to romance was a practical mixing of land...
Symphony audiences have traditionally had to face the music from the loud end of the horn; most concert halls put the orchestra on a stage and send the sound through a proscenium arch. German Architect Hans Scharoun, 70, the cigar-puffing, beret-topped president of West Berlin's Academy of Arts, believes that this is thoughtless imitation of the theater or the opera. He had observed that listeners at jamfests naturally circled around the musicians, and wanted to test his idea that "the natural location of music, spatially and optically, is in the center of a music hall...
