...star lineup. These Virtuozy Moskvy are 25 top musicians, organized into a chamber orchestra 18 months ago by Violinist Vladimir Spivakov, 35. World-renowned virtuoso himself, Spivakov alternates between bow and baton to direct his skillful charges with intensity and impishness: "Let's not be bulldozers," he will grin as the tempo speeds up during rehearsal of a Vivaldi passage. The virtuozy were the hit of Moscow's Russian Winter Festival and will play for Olympic audiences this summer. Spivakov would like to bring them to the U.S., but for him Jimmy Carter's cultural embargo hits...

Campaign Manager Jerome Grossman expected that Drinan would have no significant opposition this year either. Grossman learned last week that he could not have been more wrong. From Drinan came a shocking phone call: "I'm not running for reelection. I've been forbidden...
...Decathlon Man of the musical theater. In this show, he walks a tightrope, rides a unicycle and launches himself from a trampoline to a small balcony, besides singing and dancing. But dynamic versatility merely taps Dale's appeal. He is a born charmer with an infectious grin who never gives a self-serving performance. Every bouncing inch of his body is bent on pleasing the audience...
