Spotting Trends. Today, the school -now ensconced in modern brick and glass buildings in Greenwich Village -sticks closely to a strategic formula for success. Explains President John Everett, 57, a former chancellor of the City University of New York: "Other schools have professors who have never been in politics teaching political science. We want the person who has been a politician." Hence, faculty members-most of whom are part-time and untenured -tend to be well-known personalities in the metropolitan area. New York City Consumer Affairs Expert Elinor Guggenheimer teaches a course on the consumer and the marketplace; Village...
Strains of Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky filter through the windows of the three-story brick building on 152nd Street. Inside rehearsal pianos thump in the three studios, trumpet blasts pierce the music room, and sewing machines buzz in the basement costume department. A nine-year-old pastes sequins on a ballerina's tutu. Dancers study acting, music, dance notation. D.T.H. builds its own scenery, and company members help the technical crew put up the show.

The foreground of The Leaping Horse is all matter, and the things in it-squidgy earth, tangled weeds and wild flowers, prickle of light on the dark skin of water sliding over a hidden ledge-are troweled and spattered on with ecstatic gusto...
...Salisbury, former foreign correspondent and associate editor of The New York Times, in blue jeans and crew-neck sweater, standing earnestly before a gray, American landscape. The article is called simply "Travels Through America," and it begins with a short description of the autumn New England wind, the red-brick factories and the lawns on Route 128. Salisbury starts to tell the story of his great-grandfather's brother, Hiram, who lived around the turn of the 19th century in Chepachet, Rhode Island, farming and sometimes building sleighs for $17.69 each. Before he gets too far into it, Salisbury interrupts...
