...soaring wind turbines along the side of the road, spinning in the nearly always present breeze. Get used to the sight - Denmark is a world leader in wind energy, and produces more than 10% of its power from turbines. That's meant cleaner air and greener jobs. The homegrown wind company Vestas is a world leader earning $8 billion a year, an impressive figure in a country that has barely half the population of Hong Kong.

But the time comes when the image is complete; the name itself takes on magic and exudes the perfume of the theater. With homegrown stars like Cynthia Gregory and Gelsey Kirkland, Americans have long since stopped regarding ballerinas as imports. But this year the headlines have been captured by three young foreigners. A major factor in American Ballet Theatre's most successful season in years is Italy's Alessandra Ferri, 23, an ethereal, hugely...
