One has been called a tireless champion of America's musical legacy, largely responsible for its preservation. The other considered a world ambassador of classical music, having shared the stage with the greatest orchestras and conductors of the last century.

You can't spell hockey without O-K

If it is mid-May, it can only mean one thing: National Hockey League training camps are just around the corner. The only problem is the current season is still a month away from ending.

Final Met show a surprise

For Luciano Pavarotti, it's over. For Salvatore Licitra, it's just beginning. On a night of high drama at the opera house, Pavarotti disappointed thousands of his fans by deciding at the last minute he was too ill with the flu to sing the closing performance of the Metropolitan Opera season. Licitra, a young Sicilian tenor, went on instead -- and scored the most triumphant Met debut in recent memory.

'Afterdark' thought provoking and complex

The new play that opened at the Bloomington Playwrights Project this weekend, "Afterdark" by New Yorker Kara Manning, is supposed to examine the personal lives and relationships of seven city dwellers trying to make sense of their world, post-Sept. 11. It does successfully raise some important questions and offer flashes of occasional insight, but just how many questions and what they may be is not always clear. For every truth eloquently illuminated, there seems to be two other threads left untied.

Mayor Daley's new bulldozer

The best breakfast I've ever had was a greasy Polish sausage with grilled green peppers. I remember it all so distinctly, so vividly -- as if it were a lucid dream. A cantaloupe dawn was breaking over the foul waters of Lake Michigan. Yawning delivery men were heaving bundles of the Chicago Tribune on street corners, and the line at Jim\'s Hotdogs was at least a block long. Those electric blue insect zappers were zinging and flypaper dangled over the deep fryers. Maxwell Street was muggy, even at 6 a.m., and sweat trickled down the spine like spooked rodents.

Voter turnout an embarrassment

As I arrived at a polling station last Tuesday to campaign, I expected a flurry of voters throughout the day. I was sadly mistaken. Instead, I sat in my car most of the day keeping warm as hours passed with few or no voters to be seen. By the end of the day, only 102 of the precinct's 525 voters had voted.

Overshadowed Valens remains a true rock titan

Sometimes I am struck by an urgent sense of wanderlust that prods and cajoles me into taking impulsive, spur-of-the-moment road trips to God-knows-where. Such a spontaneous desire struck me about a month ago after my hopeful plans for a weekend date fell through. I was left to face yet another dismal, self-pity-filled weekend.
