Reagan has Sinatra. Carter has Willie Nelson. But when John Anderson needs a friend who can pack a house, he calls on James Taylor. A single Anderson for President concert by Taylor in Charleston, W. Va., yielded enough signatures, to guarantee the candidate a spot on the state's ballot. Taylor -along with Brothers Livingston, Hugh and Alex and Sister Kate-plans ten concerts on Anderson's behalf. With five down, the Taylors sought reassurance that their man would go all the way. "You're not going to crap out on us?" Livingston asked at a Boston...

Now the director of the San Francisco Opera has again become a father. Adler was conducting a concert in Iceland when word came that his second wife, Nancy, 35, had borne him the first child of their 15-year marriage. Sabrina Sif (after the Nordic fertility goddess) Miller Adler is already showing performing promise. "She's a camera ham, and her voice is strong and healthy," says Dad. Adds...
