...comes to New York about three times a month. He stays in the company's three-room suite at the Waldorf Towers. In Boca Raton, Fla., he owns a condominium (with five bathrooms) overlooking the Atlantic. But much of his time he spends at home in Bloomfield Hills, a sylvan suburb northwest of Detroit...
...DIED. Sylvan N. Goldman, 86, inventor of the shopping cart and multimillionaire philanthropist whose fortune was estimated last year by Forbes magazine to be $200 million; in Oklahoma City. Supermarket Owner Goldman built the first shopping-cart prototype in the mid-1930s using a folding chair as a model.

All five are top-flight performers: well-suited vocally for Handel's soft, delicate arias, and passionate and convincing as actors. Sanford Sylvan reveres every syllable he sings as Orlando, and his gentle descent into madness (represented as the planet Mars in this production) is mesmerizing. Janet Brown's rendition of the queen/deb Angelica's melancholy reflection on false hopes is another high-point: sweetly sung but bitterly felt. (The ART has double...
