...Most of Ohio's labor and party leaders have indicated they lean heavily toward the favorite-son course. So have the party's county chairmen and the state's Democratic executive committee, who voted 98-14 for that strategy shortly before Thanksgiving. Gilligan has a cynical explanation for the ballot: "They want to be wined and dined all over Miami...

St. Louis converted an old Loew's Orpheum into Powell Hall, now the home of the St. Louis Symphony. Youngstown, Ohio, adapted the former Warner Theater not only for its symphony orchestra but for new opera and ballet companies. Similar projects have been carried out in Houston and Los Angeles, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is eagerly investigating the idea...
