...close friend. I get a lot from Shelly, a lot more than the 20%." Added Stern: "I don't want to say anything bad about the new people [at Hurok]. But they are not very experienced. I don't have time for kindergarten." One of the co-owners of Hurok, President Maynard Goldman, 38, takes a philosophic stance: "Historically, artists are going to leave managements and go to others." Nonetheless, Goldman and his partner, Paul Del Rossi, 33, are suing Gold and ICMA for $4 million -$1 million for loss of commissions and $3 million in punitive damages...
Nadia Comaneci, picked from her kindergarten class in the town of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej (pop. 60,000) by her coaches because she was "alive," has advanced the sport of gymnastics as much as Olga popularized it. Frighteningly daring, she has developed a series of ultra-acrobatic moves that leave crowds gasping. The Salto Comaneci, to cite one, is a twisting, back-somersaulting dismount from the uneven parallel bars that one U.S. gymnast has a forthright word for: "Madness."

...parents, delved into the innovations and experiments of the past decade, accepting some, rejecting others, and finally developed a reform plan that Riles adopted. Dubbed the Early Childhood Education (E.C.E.) program, the project, now in its third year of operation, is used to teach 400,000 children (in kindergarten through third grade) in nearly a third of the state's elementary schools and costs the state $63 million a year to operate...
According to some early evaluations of the program, the children may be learning more too. At Russell Elementary School, for instance, 100 of the 150 kindergarten students are reading, whereas before E.C.E. virtually none could read. At the Warner Elementary School in the well-to-do Westwood section of Los Angeles, Stephen Heller, 8, attests to the program's apparent success: "We have more help and can learn faster." Riles says that E.C.E. "has unleashed a creativity and sense of involvement that we could not have anticipated." Not all Californians are impressed with E.C.E. Some parents are disturbed that...
