...Karpova's silhouette more closely resembles a sack of potatoes than a royal bird. The house shakes with laughter as her playmates, a brawny quartet of swans who differ vastly in shape and size, galumph through the imaginary forest. Disdainfully, the Black Rhinestone of Russian Ballet-as Karpova is called in the program notes-sinks into a deep arabesque penché, her broad washboard chest straining under her satin bodice...
...Heini Hemmi, 27, and Ernst Good, 26. The Canadians picked up a surprising gold medal when Kathy Kreiner, 18, won the women's giant slalom.

With one exception, none achieve much beyond half-baked ideas or artificial cliches...
...contrast, Monreal's second contribution, "Classical Symphony" to Prokofiev, shows off the company's technical powers and little besides. Ron Cunningham's "Holberg Suite," Frank Ohman's "Serenata," and Helen Heineman's "Sinfonia" do the same. Traditionally choreographed in alternating sections for soloists and the corps de ballet, the works don't give themselves the chance to develop a broader vision...
