Tribute to fallen LACMA
When I was in elementary school in the ’60s, our class went on a yellow bus field trip to explore the brand new Los Angeles County Museum of Art. As we lumbered down Wilshire Blvd toward our destination, our teacher, standing at the front of the bus next to the driver, enthralled us with the […]
‘Happy Birthday,’ Sondheim; Should we ‘Send in the Clowns’?
