In the Annapolis Chorale's April 4 production of Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas at St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Annapolis, there was little evidence of the cost-cutting announced earlier by music director J. Ernest Green. Because of its lower production costs, Dido and Aeneas replaced the previously scheduled J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion. Maintaining a high artistic level to assure superior musical and dramatic quality, Green introduced his audience to a largely unfamiliar 17th century 1-hour opera sung in English that demands much from the leads, featured soloists and choristers and requires innovative staging to make the church setting irrelevant.

CARTHAGE, Tenn. - It was quite a step down from the Fairfax Hotel on Embassy Row to the poor hollows of central Tennessee, but the old gang on Cookeville Highway wasn't about to put up with any airs from Little Albert. Steve Armistead, Gordon "Goat" Thompson or maybe Edd Blair would pick up word that the son of U.S. Sen. Albert Gore was back at the farm, maybe for Christmas, maybe for the long Tennessee summer. It would be a contest then: who could sneak up on the kid and call him "punk" first.

WASHINGTON -- William Henry Harrison's 1840 presidential campaign distributed pocket handkerchiefs printed with his purported birthplace, a log cabin. Harrison was born at Virginia's splendid Berkeley plantation.Al Gore, the only presidential candidate in history who received most of his pre-college schooling in Washington, D.C., launched his campaign in Carthage, Tenn., vowing to confound those who slide "backward." He said, "I believe we can do better." Mr. Gore, a passionate recycler, got that trope by reaching back to John Kennedy's 1960 campaign.

CARTHAGE, Tenn. - Al Gore, who has occupied the vice presidency for nearly eight years and who served in Congress for nearly 16 years, trekked to his home base in the rolling farm country of the Cumberland Valley yesterday to reintroduce himself to America as a man whose roots lie in central Tennessee.

The most hotly recruited basketball player in Howard County this season, Centennial's 6-foot-7, 190-pound Andy McShane, will attend Hampden-Sydney.McShane, who was scouted by at least a dozen Division III schools last season, combines the skills of a point guard with the height of a post player."

WASHINGTON -- Do you live in a Potemkin city -- a Baltimore or Cleveland where business and political leaders have created a small, glittering downtown core still surrounded by mile after mile of neighborhoods in the grips of biting poverty?Or a boutique city -- a Seattle, Denver, Boston or San Francisco -- where massive low-lying high-tech suburbs help enable a well-heeled technological elite to enjoy the color and verve of renewed old centers?Or a New Carthage -- a St. Louis or Detroit still losing population at alarming rates, downtowns like great empty living rooms, all the action and growth in the newest outer rings of suburban growth?
