...Here was a forty-ish, high-end suburban finance type - 6'2", with a lacrosse player's build, handsome, funny, gregarious and kind. He loved (and still does, so keep reading) sailing but also, unlike many of his ilk, loved but one wife and one set of great kids. He had smoked, and back pain brought him to the doctor. The chest x-ray showed the oh-my-God shadow, the scans showed it everywhere. The next move is usually hospice - this one is just about impossible to stop, especially when this advanced...

Most of the current cohort of rock musicians are products...
...matron dancers, Mallardi speaks of her life with a combination of grace and wry humor. Her stories flow from convivial to grave, from focused to tangential. She spent her childhood in the Bronx, learning tap and jazz by going to the cinema and imitating Fred Astaire and his ilk. Her first dance class was part of an after-school physical education program, and it was in this unlikely setting that she had her first creative breakthrough. When given an assignment to “do something” with a nursery rhyme, Mallardi says, “Somehow I instantly...
