Former opera star Beverly Sills is shown in this Jan. 27, 1994, photo. Sills is talking about retirement, but she's not leaving her post as the chairwoman of the Lincoln Center of Performing Arts anytime soon, according to a spokeswoman for the organization. But Eileen McMahon told The Associated Press on Thursday, Dec. 20, 2001, that Sills does not plan on leaving until the center finds a new president to replace the outgoing Gordon Davis, and that won't happen until spring.
