GROUP SEQUENCES excelled above individual performances or movements. In one superb silouhette the dancers become a bouquet of budded plants slowly nodding in the wind as they grow. The curved bodies curl around each other and amalgamate in a group on the floor. The dance embodies the fury of the Orestian trilogy as two males slither from the group back into the wings...
...ONLY IS She Loves Me a musical that perfectly fits the tiny dimensions of the Agassiz's stage (no small accomplishment despite appearances), but it is also a winning little presentation in its own right, a bouquet of love-scented ballads, and proof positive that spring is in the air. Fashioned out of Ernest Lubitsch's 1940 movie The Shop Around the Corner (which was in turn based on a play by Miklos Laszlo), this tale of two Budapest shop clerks who conduct an epistolary romance while feuding on the job lends itself so easily to musical treatment that...
...presidential brow. "He is the greatest Greek," cried another. In a doorway of the family house, a two-story whitewashed stone and stucco affair built 161 years ago, Agnew met his black-clad cousin Anastasia and Anastasia's 19-year-old son Demokratis, who presented him with a bouquet of red gladioli.

Sisco presented Israeli Premier Golda Meir with a bouquet at the final session ("So you are saying it with flowers," she observed dryly), and described his talks with the Israelis as "friendly."

The Israelis also expressed their fear...
Across the Channel, the change in mood and tense is more than linguistic. Un Conde (The Cop) plays the game of cops and robbers with the impact and subtlety of a .45 slug. Inspector Favenin (Michel Bouquet) has been censured for insubordination. Sullen, spiritually bankrupt, he blurs the distinction between criminal and keeper. When a young colleague is murdered, Favenin cracks. With deranged courage, he preempts the entire legal profession-cop, lawyer, judge, jury, executioner-and runs the gang to earth, ritualistically following the sanguinary vitality of the ancient Warner Bros, gangster movies...
