Inexplicably, the authors of that arrogant nonbook The Best missed a chance to make a snap judgment that few would challenge-namely, that Maya Plisetskaya is the finest female classical dancer in the world. Last week the reigning ballerina of Russia's Bolshoi Ballet headed a group of touring stars from the company in a week-long engagement at Manhattan's Lincoln Center.
