...veteran is the greatest Dane of them all, Erik Bruhn, who at 37 is the supreme danseur noble. The finest technician on two feet, his endless pursuit of classic perfection forgoes the kind of passionate abandon that marks the style of Rudolf Nureyev, the only other dancer in his class. Says one ballerina: "Nureyev is like Callas singing Bellini; Bruhn is like Schwarzkopf singing Mozart." But Bruhn has learned something about characterization from his friend Nureyev. As Don Jose in Roland Petit's version of Carmen, Bruhn was a man possessed, a smoldering Valentino driven by lust and racked...
Insatiable Craving. Today's prospering capitalism creates enormous needs and endless challenges. Economically and socially, the U.S. is the world's most mobile nation: capital flows freely from lenders to borrowers, workers shift from job to job, and venturesome entrepreneurs jump quickly up the economic ladder. The changing trends of business, science and demography provide the risktaker with ever fresh chances. Technology's quantum leaps are opening new industries almost every year-transistors, computers, lasers, masers, color TV. The shift of the economy's vast weight from traditional heavy manufacturing into the growth area of services...
Harold Wilson returned to Britain last week full of hope for a settlement of the Rhodesian crisis. He had had four days of "serious talks" with an almost endless parade of 126 leading Rhodesians, and, as he told Parliament, "no one, British or Rhodesian, has been able to hear the views of so many leaders of opinion, African or European, for very many years."

...thought beyond either denial or confirmation by science, Christianity still offers the hope of eternal life. Theologians are debating whether this means immortality in the sense of the survival of the soul, or resurrection, in the sense of a new creation. Either concept is totally different from the endless treadmill of reincarnation visualized by the Eastern religions; the Christian view of eternity is not merely endless time, and it need not involve the old physical concept of heaven and hell. It does involve the survival of some essence of self, and an encounter with God. "Life after death," said Theologian...
King Rat pumps new energy into the seemingly endless cycle of World War II film dramas, most of which are committed to tight-lipped heroics and epic battle scenes. This brutal,-unforgettable essay on the morality of survival in a Japanese prison camp is made of stronger stuff. While retaining the scenario form of James Clavell's 1962 novel, Writer-Director Bryan Forbes (Seance on a Wet Afternoon) often goes Clavell one better in the harsh words and harsher images that synthesize the horrors of Changi, an isolated compound near Singapore where 10,000 inmates struggle against starvation, disease...
