Just to the left of the Metropolitan Opera, in a grassy glade surrounded by hedges and maples, free concerts by the Goldman Band are given at Damrosch Park on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8 p.m. The hottest tickets in town, however, remain those at the New York State Theater box office, where baleful balletomanes hang out trying to cadge freebies and spares to any performance by ex-Soviet Superstars Natalia Makarova and Mikhail Baryshnikov at the American Ballet Theater. Americans Gelsey Kirkland and Fernando Bujones trail only slightly behind. On Wednesday night, July 14, fancy footwork and aerial illusions...
...other end of the suite, however, was a glade of softer music, yellow light, and marijuana smoke. Here you could glimpse such improbable pairings as the managing editor of the Harvard Crimson and a young turk from the Porcellian Club or a poorly-sculpted Eliot House jock and a cloistered aesthete from Adams House, both couples engaged in conversation over cigarettes. In this rarefied atmosphere stone figures talked lethargically on the couch, while others on the floor sucked earnestly at joints. Whenever I wandered in here, stripped to a tee shirt and sweating--anomalous among the taxidermic figures of this...
...glut of an estimated 5 million non-felony cases, the key words of Argersinger must have been those permitting "a knowing and intelligent waiver" of the right to counsel. That phrase, says the center, "has resulted in a 95% waiver rate in some lower courts."

In other jurisdictions, "defendants perceive, correctly or not, a tacit rule of court that those who ask for counsel are treated more harshly." Defendants of modest means are supposed...
...dual role of Odette-Odile in Swan Lake is one of ballet's supreme challenges, and there are many women who meet it with grace and liquid beauty. Plisetskaya, though, is unique. In the limpid forest glade scenes of Act II, most good dancers prettily suggest a girl imitating a swan. In a breathtaking act of theatrical magic, Plisetskaya somehow becomes a lovely humanoid swan giving a passable imitation of a shy maiden. This remarkable ballerina is now 48, and her short, chunky legs have clearly lost some of their spring. But Plisetskaya's legs seem almost secondary...
...Bambi in 1942, some would say-the reduction has gone even further, acting on Disney's earlier work in a steady process of self-cannibalization that increases to the extent that the early Disney is seen as high art. The animals get cuter and more anthropomorphic, the forest glade more compulsively spotless, the characters blander; and having deprived Mickey of his rattishness, Donald Duck of his foul and treacherous temper, the Disney studio had no qualms about ruining Alice in Wonderland or Kipling's Jungle Book for the kids as well. Yet within the natural bounds...
