Roger Berlind, Tony-Winning Broadway Producer, Dies at 90
He wasn’t born into the theater, though. Despite youthful aspirations as a songwriter, he found work on Wall Street, becoming a brokerage partner before the death of his wife and three of four children in a June 1975 plane crash in New York City that changed the trajectory of his life. He told the Times in 1998 that building a business and making money didn’t make sense to him anymore. Eventually, he turned to Broadway, redefining himself through a new career. Brook Berlind, his second wife, defined the switch in stage terms. “His life was utterly bifurcated by the accident,” she said. “There was Act I and Act II. I don’t think many other people could have gone on to such success after such catastrophe.” His debut production in 1976 of Rex, a Richard Rodgers musical about Henry VIII, was p...

This Mini Ferrari Testarossa Is a Toy We Wanted Under Our Christmas Tree
Chances are that anyone who’s reading this had available to them at least some kind of ride-on car toy when they were young. We say “available,” because often these toys were and are expensive—even some pedal- and kick-powered cars from decades past cost the equivalent of a few hundred bucks today. But the ultimate, at least for kids growing up in the later half of the 20th century and on, would be a powered ride-on toy. Power Wheels are just so common, though, and who wants just any faceless go-kart? No, the pinnacle of kid transportation has to be a lifelike, miniature re-creation of the hottest cars on sale—like this Ferrari Testarossa Junior. See all 8 photos If you were a kid in 1987, and one of these glinted at you from a parking spot near the Christmas tree, consid...
DIY Kit Turns the Miata Into a Prewar Alfa Romeo Race Replica
It’s nice to know that even if you don’t have the financial health often associated with selling a unicorn startup to Google, you can probably at least (someday) afford the replica of your favorite historically significant car. Beyond the myriad Shelby Cobra, GT40, and Porsche 550 Spyder clones that clog your local Cars and Coffee, there’s more esoteric stuff to be copied. From the Ferrari 250 GT (GTO Engineering) to the Lola T70 (Broadley Automotive) to the Lotus 11 (Westfield), there’s a replica of just about anything available at a relatively reasonable cost—including a new Miata-based DIY kit for a 1950s Alfa Romeo Grand Prix car. Yes, you too can turn your old leaky, greasy, wheezy Mazda roadster into a rather excellent approximation of the Alfa 158/159 th...

The 1990–1993 Chevrolet 454 SS Is a Cheap Ticket to Smoky Burnout Fun
Pickups are fun and relatively cheap entries into the world of rear-wheel drive performance. Older trucks especially are simple to work on, offer sensational parts availability from both catalogs and scrap yards (where millions of their brethren sit waiting to be picked apart), and can be made to accept a wide variety of drivetrains and suspension setups with relative ease. Factory performance trucks are a relatively new concept, however. Although outliers like the Lil Red Express were around in the ’70s, it wasn’t until the early 90s that Detroit began to embrace the idea of building its own hot rods and testing the waters with its loyal pickups buyers. With flashy rides like the turbocharged GMC Syclone and, later, the supercharged Ford F-150 Lightning grabbing most...
Kanye West Releases Emmanuel Christmas EP
For the second year in a row, Kanye West has surprise-released a Christmas EP, only this time it takes a much different twist. Last year, West’s Jesus Is Born was gospel-inspired. This time, the rapper/mogul/ex-presidential candidate took things up a notch. Titled Emmanuel, which means “God is with us,” West’s Sunday Service Choir performed while West composed the music and executive produced as well. The five-song, 12-minute EP is described as being inspired by “ancient and Latin music” and is a “celebration of the miracle of the birth of Jesus Christ.” Listen to it below. Earlier this year, West promised to release new music on an album titled DONDA, which seemingly would have been a tribute to his late mother. That music was never released, but he did manage to pee on one of h...
