...what is happening across the South. But, in fact, the changes that are transforming the eleven states of the old Confederacy are far more basic and substantial. In what had long been the nation's poorest, most backward-looking region, business booms and economic, social and political opportunities abound. Cities thrust ever outward and upward. Racial integration proceeds with surprising smoothness. And a Georgian wins the Democratic presidential nomination, the Deep South's first major-party candidate for the presidency in 128 years. Small wonder that the rest of the country is looking to the South to see what...
...serious about. A glance at the brothers Carter tells a lot. There is some confusion about why Billy Carter seems in many respects the quintessential good ole boy, while Brother Jimmy couldn't even fit into the more polished subspecies of conscious good ole boys who abound in small-town country clubs. Billy, amiable, full of jokes, his REDNECK POWER T shirt straining unsuccessfully to cover the paunch, swigs a beer, carefree on a Sunday morning, as Jimmy Carter, introspective, hard driving, teaches Sunday school.

...where baleful balletomanes hang out trying to cadge freebies and spares to any performance by ex-Soviet Superstars Natalia Makarova and Mikhail Baryshnikov at the American Ballet Theater. Americans Gelsey Kirkland and Fernando Bujones trail only slightly behind. On Wednesday night, July 14, fancy footwork and aerial illusions should abound when the whole caboodle appear on one bill: Kirkland and Bujones in the 19th century Russian classic La Bayadère, and Makarova and Baryshnikov in Jerome Robbins' 20th century American classic Other Dances. This artistic cross-cultural event ought to drive fans to yet a new pitch...
