MONTH AFTER MONTH, YEAR AFTER year, for 16 long years, Loretta and Basilio Jorge struggled without success to conceive a child. They endured two miscarriages and the $30,000 financial hit of two in-vitro fertilizations. Then, last December the Jorges, both 36, learned that Loretta's eggs and perhaps Basilio's sperm may have been used by their fertility doctor to impregnate another woman. Now they are waging an unprecedented custody battle for 6-year-old twins that makes King Solomon's dilemma look simple...

Sevillano enchants Armand with her coquetishness and bedazzles the audience with her technical skill. She skips delicately across the stage en pointe, slices through the air with split-second leaps and performs multiple pirouettes and fouette turns with luscious ease. Armand tosses his head more sexily than ever while leaping in furious circles about...
