...years of harassment and enforced idleness ended last week for Valery Panov, 35. The Kirov Ballet's great dancer and his ballerina wife Galena, 24, were finally issued emigration visas allowing them to go to Israel. The Soviet government agreed six months ago to issue a visa to Panov, who is a Jew, but not to non-Jewish Galena. However, Panov would not leave without his wife, who is expecting their first child. Committees in the West have been campaigning on the Panovs' behalf, and shortly before President Nixon's planned Soviet visit, the U.S.S.R. abruptly announced...
Giant Strides. On a clear stretch of highway, Shaw skates with the grace of a slalom skier or dancer. With giant strides of legs and arms, head high, he races westward through the cornfields.

There has been no effort on her part, or on anyone else's, to conceal this historical footnote. The Vice President...
...childlike in their simplicity. Again, in search of energy, Avery strives not for sophistication but for the power of a basic form--a way to demonstrate the vitality of his world. He expresses all the pride and grandeur of a fan-tailed pigeon with nine zig-zagged lines. A dancer caught in mid-turn prepares to leap from the page, and a startled bird stretches across a dawning sky of four stars and a third-quarter moon...
