Spivey lives in Hephzibah, Ga., a town of about 4,000 just south of Augusta, where her family has resided for more than two centuries. That has given her kinsmen quite a lot of time to spread the love. She claims to be related to approximately 60,000 people in her area. “It gets really complicated when you want to date,” she says. Fortunately, a family member wised up and made a comprehensive genealogy book, and as yet no Saturday night dates have turned into impromptu family reunions...
...orphanage. That's not what we do." Yet at least one child lived at Bethesda for 14 years, and stays of four or five years are not uncommon there and at similar institutions around the country. The trend's most adventurous examples are, coincidentally or not, in Illinois. Hephzibah Children's Association, named after a biblical benefactor, operates a small facility funded by the mostly well-to-do citizens of Oak Park; it accommodates children ages 3 to 11 for however long it takes them to be adopted, thus sparing them the foster-care shuffle.

In 1971, Shaffer and Pianist Hephzibah Menuhin gave the world premiere of the new work at a benefit for Philadelphia's Settlement Music School, with Copland in attendance. Last week in New York, Shaffer recorded the work for Columbia Records, this time with Copland, 72, at the piano...
...Angel label, it has sold 15,000 copies in six weeks. Menuhin plays two ragas worked out by Shankar (the rest of the album is given over to a solo by Shankar and a performance of Enesco's Sonata No. 3 by Menuhin and his pianist sister Hephzibah). On the first, a violin solo, Menuhin spins out a contemplative opening cadenza, progresses to some pizzicato syncopations, then, over the pitty-pat of tabla (drums), skips and slides through a series of jaunty embellishments on the theme. On the second, he and Shankar engage in a long, rousing call...
