Like most choreographers, Fosse spun his idiosyncratic moves out of the peculiarities of his own body. "He was a bit bent and crooked by nature," recalls Reinking, "and somewhat pigeon-toed." The style that resulted, says Fosse dance captain Brad Musgrove, was the antithesis of the expansive approach of classical ballet: "It's all turned in. You're knock-kneed, you roll over on your ankles, you're sitting into your hip, you're arching your back, the elbows are in, the wrists are flexed. You have to work exactly the opposite from the way you're trained...
...work has been known for its wordplay and highbrow subject matter--such as chaos theory in Arcadia, or the life of poet A.E. Housman in The Invention of Love, now running in London. Many of his plays have been criticized for their emotional inaccessibility, but, says Stoppard a bit testily, "If people think it, then they think it. That's fine."

...much? ?The most valuable political property is her book, if she does it,? says Regan. ?Hers would be the most interesting story, both personally and professionally.? But for that kind of money, Mrs. Clinton would have to tell almost all, admits the publisher. ?Not everything, but quite a bit.? Clearly Regan isn?t ruing the one that got away: Monica. Having snubbed a $4 million book-and-TV offer from Regan before the Starr report was out, Monica was offered less than $1 million for a book afterward. The deal died, says Regan, partly because of the Lewinsky camp...
