When Mr. Pots and Pans is not on one of his frequent buying trips to Europe, he patrols four floors of highly variegated merchandise. His cheapest item is a 5? cork, his most expensive a $500 copper pot suitable for an entire sheep. Between these terminals is a treasury of the familiar and exotic. Prosaic pepper mills and soup bowls huddle with sophisticated croissant cutters and the French Cuisinart Food Processor, a $160 Rube Goldberg contraption for slicing and pulverizing just about anything.

...intense minutes, the dancers flit and fit around and into each other like a set of oiled and animated cork screws inspired by the Kama Sutra. Al though the form is that of classical dance, the positions are not. They are an exploration of every inch of space on the stage and around the dancers themselves. Haydée oozes elegantly across the floor on her bottom like a geometric snake, slithering effortlessly upward, feet first and legs spread, over Cragun's waiting shoulders. Tetley amazingly seems to have taught his dancers how to bow their hips into trompe...
