...more than a century, France's Perrier mineral water has been a familiar presence in Europe's toniest restaurants, glossiest spas and priciest specialty shops. The gaseous drink in the light green bottle-distinctively shaped like an Indian club-has somehow managed to retain an air of exclusivity even though Source Perrier has been for years the world's largest bottler of sparkling water; the company also owns such brands as Vichy and Contrexeville. Yet Perrier water has just about saturated the Western European market, and the rate of growth has been leveling...
...ends with the German settlement being liberated by a British detachment-commanded, in another tart touch, by a swarthy Indian captain. Under the terms of the distant armistice, the captain claims the German territory for England. The French and German colonials sit down again over drinks, having learned nothing from the experience but that "the niggers who were German are now English." The geographer finds that his German counterpart is a fellow university man, and they share a well-bred chuckle over their common socialist youth. Race and class reassert themselves.

Paxton begins walking the diagonal of the space with a forearm gesture that suggests a mime pulling open a door or a classical Indian dancer coiling her palm in a hand posture. The opening movements have an Eastern sort of stillness. There are five or so discrete sequences in each half, with a small break in between each, while Paxton wipes his brow or walks to a new starting position. Several phrases build to a similar climax: turns slipping into themselves and then into the floor...
