...Secret Service Makes Me Nervous" (1962), by Anita Gillette; from "Mr. President." Berlin's last Broadway show didn't soar, but Gillette, my favorite soubrette, brings delicious perk and pout to this lament about a President's daughter who can't have fun. I'd put this rendition on the list even if Anita, way back then, hadn't been so sweet to a teenager (me) who sent her a fan letter. She treated him like a friend and not a stalker...

In 1917, Berlin scored with "For Your Country and My Country," "I?m Gonna Pin My Medal on the Girl I Left Behind," "Let?s All Be Americans Now? and a mother?s fond lament about her wayward soldier son, "They Were All Out of Step...

As a monument to a visceral artist and a study in artistic maturity, this set, regardless of musical...
...change in the climate, it remains a change limited to certain corners of the country. Interracial couples are most prevalent in cities, university towns and large states with diverse populations: California, Texas, Florida and New York. And not all interracial dating is considered equal. Black-white couples lament that the historic divide between their races is still the hardest to overcome, whether dealing with their parents or their peers. At the Indian Springs school in Birmingham, Ala., recalls Jones, black kids felt it was O.K. to date an Indian, Korean or Latino, but they frowned on dating whites. Asian-white...
