...RECENT SOLO WORK Lazarus, which followed the unexceptional Swan Lake, was nothing less than awesome. From the moment Tony Catanzaro's Lazarus emerged from the yellow light of the tomb, crouched like some deformed insect, the struggle of form against space and life against death riveted the audience. Catanzaro used his considerable physical power to convey an intense emotional compression, and as the dance toiled upward from the ground he grappled with space as though the very air around him were thick with death...
...best moments, Carmina Burana was a work of splendor and integrity. In the final scene, which mirrors the first, the figure of Fortune is lifted above an encircling crowd: the conical form consummating the angular choreography of the work's most arresting dances--the cyclical theme exulting in the deepest pattern of all bodily life.

Even more important, it would protect illegal immigrants from exploitation by making them legal.

"The whole thing just snowballed from there," Medenica says. After several fits and starts, the team got untracked late in the spring, racing through mid-September whenever possible. Herne rolled up 30 points to the runner-up's 27 to capture...
...ballsy book, one that must have taken a great deal of courage to write. What with the comforting sentimental aura that surrounds the ethnicity vogue, Patterson admits that in writing the book, "the very attempt at criticism became a form of treachery." And since so many social scientists have succumbed to the cries for allegiance to their own ethnicities, Patterson acknowledges that his publishers (Stein and Day) fear that "it will be difficult to find anyone who is sufficiently detached to review the book fairly...
