...precaution he would take some of his most treasured paintings up to bed with him at night. But one night a few weeks ago, he did not even bother to do that. Sure enough, when he came down next morning, the walls of his dining room were bare. "We've been robbed!" he screamed, as his wife and mother burst into tears. Gone were three Braques, three Légers, a Picasso, Modigliani, Buffet, Dufy, Miró, Matisse, Bonnard, Utrillo, Valadon, Laurencin, Derain, Bazaine, Pascin and a Rouault...
...almost bare stage (set by Isamu Noguchi) dominated by a fantastical red classroom "barre'' that resembled a misshapen ironing board, five sets of dancers twisted in a brilliant but broadly exaggerated spoof of technical dance movements to Carlos Surinach's wittily parodistic score. At one point, three girls stood on the wide barre casually doing deep knee bends while three male members of the company lying beneath them mirrored the action in reverse.

She's not really glad, she hastens to explain. She's just playing a game her father taught...
Along the steaming, mud-covered delta of Africa's Niger River, bare-chested men labored amid crocodiles and screaming parrots this week to push shafts of steel deep into the earth. On the choppy waters of the Persian Gulf, others perched on a crablike platform and sent a snag-toothed bit boring into the ocean bed. Around the world, hundreds of men labored just as sweatily in 35 other countries - from the pampas of Argentina to the back hills of New Zealand - to probe the earth in an eager quest for the substance that makes the world...
