For a man who describes himself as "a solitary and an agonizingly slow worker," Sendak has had an uncharacteristically gregarious year. He oversaw the printing of his new book, Outside Over There, to be published this spring, aided in the production of his off-Broadway musical Really Rosie, designed sets for the Houston Opera's version of The Magic Flute and is at work on the New York City Opera...

Perhaps Mr. Reagan will come to be known as "The Squire of Rancho del Cielo," or "The Gipper," in reference to his second most memorable movie role, or in reference to the first, "The Rest of Me." New York Builder Donald Trump is called "The Donald" by Mrs. Trump, so we might call Mr. Reagan "The Ronald." It is too early to tell...
