"We didn't go for fire-works," says Amanda of her final-round pas de deux from Sleeping Beauty with Partner Simon Dow, 25. "We strove for purity." In a rare bow to a Western performer, TASS noted, "Her dancing was marked by spirituality, lyricism and purity of form."

UNESCO'S press curbs, said Cushrow Irani, chairman of the International Press Institute and publisher of The Statesman of Calcutta, would "transform the press into an instrument of governments."
