Mary Miller is 25, bright, attractive and ambitious. She has a husband, an editorial job with a New York publishing company and frequently enjoys her favorite pastimes of skiing and attending the ballet. But Mary (not her real name) also has something that casts a shadow over her otherwise happy life. She is figuratively carrying a time bomb in her neck, never knowing whether-or when-it will go off.

...childhood dream in Riga was to be a pianist. But his mother enrolled him at twelve in the Latvian Opera Ballet school. "I didn't take it very seriously," he recalls. "Then I really bit into the forbidden fruit and I couldn't tear myself away." From Riga he went to Leningrad, where, like Nureyev, he studied with Ballet Master Alexander Pushkin.
