...Stars and Stripes. He and the choreographer pause to discuss some points, speaking in Russian-a common language for both. Later, Baryshnikov, 30, whips through a fast, intricate sequence from Rubies. He repeats it several times with the same unrelenting charge of energy. Balanchine, 74, watches with a private inward smile. American ballet's hottest, most speculated-on alliance is off to a flying start...
