...stunning admission came as Darci Alves da Silva, 23, and his rancher father, Darly Alves da Silva, 54, went on trial in the Amazonian town of Xapuri last week for the murder of Francisco ("Chico") Mendes, the Brazilian rubber tapper and defender of the rain forests who became an environmental martyr after a single shotgun blast killed him in 1988. Asked by the judge if he "carried out" the murder, Darci answered, "I confirm...
...accused of killing him -- Darly Alves da Silva, 56, a wealthy Xapuri rancher, and his son Darci, 24 -- were the targets of one of Mendes' last empates, in March 1988.

He takes a robust pleasure...
...company's three less well-known choreographers had their difficulties. Peter Martins did a brief, saucy Piano-Rag-Music for Darci Kistler, showing this explosive teenage star as a Ginger Rogers in pointe shoes. His longer work, Concerto for Two Solo Pianos, illustrated just how recalcitrant Stravinsky can be: Martins' formidable clarity and order were exhausted by the endless drill of notes. Jacques d'Amboise's Serenade en la had one irresistible sequence: a lighthearted duet for two very short girls (Stacy Caddell and Nichol Hlinka), in which the arms are usually joined but the steps...
