...past when Fokine created his choreography in 1908. He distilled the essence of Romantic ballet--a series of dreamy reveries suffused with moonlight and white-clad sylphs floating to the music of Chopin. We might be witnessing the animation of an 1840s watercolor, so fluent is Fokine in his chosen language...
...from preparing a package of revenue-raising tax "reforms" to abandoning al most all of it; from insisting that a $60.6 billion deficit could not be avoided in fiscal 1979, which started Oct. 1, to slashing that figure to $39 billion. A major problem is that Carter has never chosen one official to coordinate economic policy. Treasury Secretaries like Henry Fowler (1965-68) and George Shultz (1972-74) have often exercised such a role in the past, but Blumenthal has never achieved that stature or authority.

...stint behind the camera. The just finished film Adolescence deals with a 13-year-old Parisienne who goes to see her grandmother in the country and falls in love with a visiting doctor.

Young sings several of his unreleased songs. Two of them-a rock-'n'-roll anthem called Out of the Blue and into the Black ("The king...
...mechanization make him independent of the Government Had he chosen to "set aside" (not plant) 20% of his 2,000 wheat acres this year, he would have qualified to receive a Government-guaranteed "target price" of $3.40 a bushel. Benedict elected instead to plant all his acres, gambling that eventually he will get a high enough price to make a larger profit on a bigger crop. Whether he wins he will not know for many months. He has signed a contract to sell 40% of his wheat crop, for a price that he says "will cover costs and a little...
