...Kirov paid rich tribute to the choreographer who danced on its stage as a youngster. The set suggests the theater itself, its balconies aglow in mellow light. The marvelous, downy tutus use the colors of the Kirov curtain. When danced by Asylmuratova, one of the handful of great ballerinas today, a magical fusion of dance tradition and Balanchine's revolution occurs. She may lack the technical wizardry of City Ballet's Kyra Nichols or Merrill Ashley, but she is the most musical of dancers, delightedly bathing in the score, modestly using her bewitching personal beauty to enhance the glamour...
Those who have had their fill of the light and the lean may be ready for the solid fare of the Balkans. The Balkan Cookbook by Radojko Mrljes (Hippocrene; $24.95) is aglow with the juicy, garlic-perfumed grilled meats, winter-warm soups and aromatic oregano- and onion-flavored stews.

Some 10,000 blocks of ice, 600 lbs. each, have been nudged into position. At night the palace is aglow: hundreds of computer-controlled lights line the hollow interiors...
...passengers in the lifeboats could hear the screams of those they had left behind. And the crashing sound of everything breaking loose, the five grand pianos, the ice- making machine, dozens of potted palms. At 2:20, with a few of her red and green running lights still aglow, the Titanic suddenly slipped beneath the waves. Nobody knows exactly how many lives she took with her. The best estimate...
