...stage Annie was a harmless, punchless confection with an O.K. score featuring that unavoidable pop hymn Tomorrow.

Simmons is constantly exploring the reaches of the orchestral repertory, programming unusual works such as Hoist's Hymn of Jesus and Bruchner's Mass No. 3. A dynamic opera conductor, he will lead Mozart's Cost Fan Tutte in June with the Opera Theater of St. Louis...
...Seaver's college baseball uniform; waxed flowers from President Garfield's funeral; L.B.J FOR PRESIDENT lollipops in the shape of Texas; a swatch of material from the Red Baron's plane wing; a "Mr. Bones" skeleton puppet used in a vaudeville show; Jimmy Carter's hymn book from Plains, Ga.; and a tie box full of old gallstones...
