Despite all Gorbachev's fancy footwork, his basic objectives show no signs of varying from those pursued by his predecessors. He is as adamant as ever about blocking the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars. But he has decided, it appears, to work around that challenge rather than meet it head on. Gorbachev seems to have learned a lesson from the Great Euromissile Debate of 1983. The Soviet Union was dead set against the deployment in Western Europe of U.S. intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF), which were intended to offset Soviet SS-20 rockets already in place. Moscow pronounced...
...escorted her across the street. Maybe she just assumed they were making a movie--which, of course, they were, playing a couple of wild and crazy undercover cops in Running Scared. Hines, 39, fresh from good reviews in White Nights with Co-Star Mikhail Baryshnikov, has no fancy footwork to fall back on this time out. "I feel most confident dancing," he admits, "though I've grown more comfortable acting in the past few years." Crystal, 38, is also in unfamiliar territory; this is his first movie after moving on from Saturday Night Live. Says he: "I keep asking Gregory...

Alan Shaw, as the shadow in "Kid and Shadow," tenses Eduardo Fuentes with both his dazzline footwork and his impish grin. Throughout the program, Stanford Makishi exudes charisma with every step, strut and slide. In both "Classroom" and "Library Tour" Catherine Musinsky is particularly expressive. As her face registers the gamut of feelings from surprise to confusion, she dances with a soft, musical bouyancy. While CityStep is partially a showcase for these indented Harvard dancers...
Because they began their careers in comic theater. MGM's great stars developed a special knack for giving movement meaning, for transcending footwork. When Fred lures deeper and deeper into a dance with every step and eventually, casually, plops her in a couch, smirks, and backs away wiping his hands, their dance is as dramatic as any dialogue; their movement as eloquent as any speech. Something more than style and footwork fills the scene. No doubt, years hence, we will look back at the 80's and see dancers worthy to stand with Astaire, Kelly, and Judy Garland. With luck...
