More Sparing the horse, Brussels warms up to the electric carriageBRUSSELS.- It started a number of years ago with angry remarks from tourists every now and again. But in recent years, the comments flew all the time, with people shouting, Shame! at Thibault Danthine, a horse-drawn carriage operator in Brussels, as they walked by. Ten years ago, that never happened, said Danthine, a self-described horse lover. At the end, it was every day. Exhausted by being accused of perpetrating animal cruelty, Danthine decided to sell his five horses and use the proceeds to buy two electric carriages, designed to look like an early model of an electric vehicle developed in the 1800s by inventor Robert Anderson, instead. In June, Brussels became the first European capital to offer daily tours on electric carriages. Danthine, the citys only carriage operator, said he had no interest in becoming the ambassador of a movement to ban ho ... More Maurice Williams, whose 'Stay' was a hit for him and others, dies at 86NEW YORK, NY.- Maurice Williams, the singer and songwriter whose 1960 single Stay, recorded with his doo-wop group the Zodiacs, shot to No. 1 and became a cover-song staple for a long line of musical acts, including the Four Seasons, the Hollies and Jackson Browne, died Aug. 6 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was 86. His death, in a hospital, was confirmed by Ron Henderson, a former member of the Zodiacs. Williams owed a considerable career debt to a girl he dated when he was 15. She provided the inspiration for his two biggest hits: Little Darlin, recorded when his group was called the Gladiolas, which hit No. 41 on the Billboard pop chart in 1957; and Stay, which briefly topped the chart in 1960. Williams recalled the origins of Stay, his only chart-topping single, in a 2018 video interview. This young lady I was going ... More Phil Donahue, talk host who made audiences part of the show, dies at 88NEW YORK, NY.- Phil Donahue, who in the 1960s reinvented the television talk show with a democratic flourish, inviting audiences to question his guests on topics as resolutely high-minded as human rights and international relations, and as unblushingly lowbrow as male strippers and safe-sex orgies, died Sunday at his home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. He was 88. His death was confirmed by Susan Arons, a representative of the family. âThe Phil Donahue Showâ made its debut in 1967 on WLWD-TV in Dayton, Ohio, propelling Donahue on a 29-year syndicated run, much of it as the unchallenged king of daytime talk television. Almost from the start, âThe Phil Donahue Showâ dispensed with familiar trappings. There was no opening monologue, no couch, no sidekick, no band â just the host and the guests, focused on a single topic. ... More The University at Buffalo Art Galleries announces "Maria A.
