Music to Her Ears

There is always something in the Los Angeles Times Magazine that interests me, but the Nov. 6 issue was a particular joy, beginning with “Duet With a Diva,” by James McCourt. No singer has given me as much pleasure as Victoria de los Angeles in the many recitals I attended here and in New York during the ‘60s and ‘70s.

Then the article about Jim Wallis was fascinating. To read about a man who practices justice and tolerance was especially wonderful after the recent dismal political campaigns.

And I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful garden in Venice as described by Susan Heeger. It ought to be a good spot in which to read your magazine.
