...cable sports network ESPN didn't televise any games in the U.S. until 1996 - I was familiar with Europeans' football. I had been seeing it on the field, first as a kid living in an immigrant-enriched community near Newark, N.J. - where one learned that Portuguese teams have flair and fire, and that a Scotsman has a very broad view as to what constitutes a fair challenge.

Love ’09 gave a truly insipid performance of the “Russian Variation,” lacking flair and rhythm on the stage. “Neopolitan Dance” and “Swan Pas de Trois” were both charming but often sloppy and uneven.“Dance of the Four Cygnettes” was particularly disappointing. Though one of the most difficult pieces...
