Today S.A.B. is in effect the national academy of ballet, offering priceless schooling to those who survive its competitive rigors. It was nourished in part by Balanchine's inspired choice of zealous teachers, many of them Russian, and by his fecundity in providing peerless ballets for children to employ their little fund of steps (The Nutcracker) or to aspire to (Serenade, a signature work he began within ten weeks of the school's opening). Starting in 1963, the school also benefited from then unprecedented grants of nearly $6 million from the Ford Foundation, which allowed it to recruit the best...
...trying something new--fighting back. The Herbie: Fully Loaded star is pressing charges against a photographer who she says rammed her Mercedes last month in pursuit of a shot.

Again, each individual candidate for tenure must be evaluated on what he or she will contribute to Harvard, and race...

For the past nine years in the Middle East, al-Jazeera has faced an unofficial boycott led by Saudi Arabia, whose government was stung by criticism on al-Jazeera of its rulers. The English channel is apt to employ the sort of guerrilla business tactics that the Arabic channel has used. Initially limited to advertising from Qatari companies, the Arabic channel gradually attracted international brands and boosted its revenues threefold by, among other things, making deals with parent companies rather than with regional subsidiaries. Although al-Jazeera is subsidized...
