Twenty-five seconds later, Harvard scored again, but this goal was disallowed by the refs, an occurence which mattered little until 12:21, when Albrecht took a centering pass from Smith and plunged, the puck and all, into Petrovek...

He excels at shrewd, straightforward comedy. In Frederick Ashton's Les Patineurs, the dancers appear to be on ice skates. Misha seems about to fall over backward at times-a mime performance that Marcel Marceau might...

For Nureyev immediately set about restoring the male to early 19th century heliocentric prominence. There was nothing middling about his spirit: he was a real-life Albrecht right out of Giselle with a rampaging case of the willies...
