1995Year Whatever else 1996 may bring, the New Year promises one frightening mathematical certainty -- the now famous statistic from the National Council on Aging: starting at midnight tonight and continuing through the year 2014, a member of the baby-boom generation will turn 50 on the average of every 7.5 seconds. That adds up to more than 75 million voters, consumers and employees (boomers make up more than a third of the nation's population of approximately 250 million). The impact of this demographic milestone has been much explored in economic and social terms. But its effects on culture promise to be no less momentous. Could classical music's popularity suddenly soar, as millions of baby boomers finally admit that they don't feel angry enough for rock anymore? Will this notoriously self-absorbed generation remain smitten with its lost youth, as evidenced in the pop music, movies and television shows it favors, or will it confront society's conflicting attitudes toward aging? Perhaps we'll see more starring film roles for performers over 50, in tales of love and other new-found happiness among the middle-aged. (Maybe Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood in "The Bridges of Madison County" were only the beginning.) The New York Times asked six notable people in the arts who will turn 50 in 1996 to reflect on the possibilities. Page 24. COUNTDOWN!

1975Year The, dense, dramatic “
At Midnight” has been a favored Eliot Feld work since its American Ballet Theater premiere several seasons ago.
