He, as well as I, and many others, is aware that some of the nation's wealthiest white bedroom communities come very close to touching Newark-physically. I grew up in Short Hills, N.J., one of the most elite. And I found that after the rioting those who "have" reacted by retreating even further-obtaining double locks and guns.

I know I can ride as good as most men, and I intend to prove...
...unlearn many of its basics. Their movements forsake the glide-and-leap patterns of ballet in favor of a staccato stomping in which the heel, rather than the toe, becomes the pivot for the action. Unlike Russia's Moiseyev folk ballet, whose dancers' athletic leaps are relatively close to the virtuoso tradition of formal dance, the Folklorico's characteristic moments find the troupe bouncing in position like so many bright-colored jumping beans...
