...came from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where a social-dance class that began during the semester break attracted 109 nostalgic students instead of the expected 20 to 30, all eager to learn not the latest rock steps but the dances their parents once did: the rumba, jitterbug, foxtrot, waltz, tango, Charleston, even the polka. Says Instructor Harry Brauser: "These dances serve as a contact point between generations. Kids are now interested in what their parents experienced; everything their parents did is no longer looked down upon...
...past and too much love for the American stage for that. In structure, the solos, pas de deux and dances for the corps are almost chastely classical; yet Broadway keeps breaking in.

...mistake. The Nigerian tribes she has come to study want to be left alone, of course. Their good luck is to have an English district officer who wants the same thing. Bewsher is a typical Gary character-humane, eccentric, ready with the bottle, and just as ready to foxtrot in the midst of a mission compound. He handles his native charges with a nice mixture of cajolery, flattery and big-daddy scolding. His mistake is in thinking that because he is on their side, they are on his. The natives see only that Bewsher is white; to them...
