If the State Department approves the exchange, Russia's Bolshoi Theater Ballet may open in Manhattan on New Year's eve, while Moscow on the same night gets a performance by either the New York City Ballet Company, Pianist Vladimir Horowitz, Louis ("Satchmo") Armstrong, Contralto Marian Anderson or Violinist Jascha Heifetz...

What is lacking is the steely courage that would let Natasha brand her flesh with a red-hot iron to prove her love. Instead of a total commitment to life, there is more often a quiet acceptance of fate. Mel Ferrer's Prince Andrey has a certain sullen grandeur, but his diction is often unclear, and he is more wooden than reserved, more testy than proud. Henry Fonda...
