...York to study modern dance with Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey, ballet with Karel Shook. Since the rise of his own company, he has continued to freelance extensively as a choreographer. His iconoclastic Feast of Ashes, created for the Joffrey Ballet in 1962, signaled a new fusion of classic ballet and modern dance styles, or the advent of what can only be called the Ailey style. "What I like," he says, "is the line and technical range that classical ballet gives to the body. But I still want to project to the audience the expressiveness that only modern dance offers...

...will be high. The economy has been built in large part on cheap energy, and adjusting to an era of scarce and costly fuel will mean painfully wrenching changes. While Nixon tries to cut the budget, he may have to channel more federal money into research for harnessing thermonuclear fusion and building plants at mines that would produce gas by burning coal. Home builders will surely have to put more insulation into new houses and apartments, raising immediate costs to buyers and renters. Detroit may well have to design much smaller and lower-powered cars. The ERA'S Ruckelshaus...
