...order to watch dusty young people in work clothes dance on a paintsplashed stage. Like last season's dominant theatrical event, Rent the show provides the slightly eerie aesthetic of the glamorously rebellious youth and zero-budget art--an image which doesn't hold up when the viewer's gaze drifts from the stage to the well-heeled, occasionally slightly puzzled-looking middle-aged audience. A ticket to the show will cost you 30 to 50 dollars--a price tag just too rich for many students, however passionate their love for rhythm might...
George Orwell seems amused in many of his photographs; his twinkling gaze laughs at those who would look at his likeness. John Mortimer peers out from the photo on the jacket of his new book, Felix in the Underworld, in a disconcertingly similar manner. His tightlipped, bemused smile and his merry eyes dwarved by oversize spectacles almost mock idle viewers of the snapshot.

The camera responded, and moments later, the TV monitor, as promised, flickered to life. Tsibliyev and Lazutkin seemed pleased; Foale was decidedly less...
Nothing happening at the windows, however, did not mean nothing happening on the screen. Following Tsibliyev's now worried gaze, both Lazutkin and Foale could see that the station had all at once become huge, practically filling the screen at a distance of barely 150 ft. from Progress. "Try to get another range!" Tsibliyev shouted to both crewmen. As Foale sped toward Kvant, Lazutkin looked out his window and froze. There, at last, seemingly at arm's length, was the fast-closing Progress. "There it is already!" he shouted...
