Callie's biological parents, Whitney Rogers and Kevin Chittum, were killed in a traffic accident on July 4, 1998, just days before they would have learned of the switch. And in mourning the young parents, there had been some hope that Callie and Becca's accidentally conjoined clans could let the girls share their lives together. A month after the deaths, the Chittums and the Rogerses, who share the care of Rebecca, and Johnson met and seemed to get along. The girls went swimming together in a family pool. Then Callie spent a week visiting Becca's extended family...
...simple and the voices not always of the very highest octane. But Glimmerglass, which produces four operas each summer (the current season runs through Aug. 23), is not about gleaming high Cs; instead, the show is the star. Artistic director Paul Kellogg and music director Stewart Robertson hire young artists who know how to move as well as sing and directors and designers with a knack for knocking the rust off tired masterpieces. Add to this the special pleasure of watching opera in a theater small enough that you can see Rigoletto's eyebrow twitch from the back...
...Glimmerglass's 900-seat Alice Busch Opera Theater. This makes it possible for productions to be opened and polished in Cooperstown, then moved to New York City, where they can be seen by bigger audiences (and telecast over PBS).

...best to get these and other nutrients from food. But they're so important for proper development--even a short bout of mild anemia, for example, can have permanent effects on young brains--that Roberts and Heyman recommend daily supplements (though not megavitamins) for kids at least up to age three. And no, they didn't take money from the vitamin companies to make that recommendation...
Considering all the pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo that passes for nutritional advice these days, I can't help being enthusiastic when a really good guide based on solid research shows up in bookstores. And when the subject of that book is young children's nutritional needs--which are very different from those of adults--you can bet I'm going to recommend it to every parent I know. I'm talking about Feeding Your Child for Lifelong Health (Bantam; $15.95) by Susan Roberts, a nutrition researcher at Tufts University in Boston, and Dr. Melvin Heyman, a pediatric gastroenterologist at the University...
