...Kleenex box is to your left. The windows are curtained. The chair is comfortable. You can't see the clock, but as usual it's set five minutes ahead, on the hour...
These advanced machines have already started to change the way Americans work and play. The packaging for dozens of name-brand consumer products, from Ivory Snow to Kleenex tissues, is now designed on 3-D computers rather than from mock-ups made of cardboard or clay. Last year the entire line of Coca- Cola soft drinks was redesigned around a new logo -- a project that would have taken twice as long had it not been done by machine. Timex wristwatches, Ping golf clubs, Reebok sneakers and Volvo station wagons are all created on graphics workstations. Volvo even uses a satellite...

A brilliant, obsessive fellow, France virtually handed his head, stuffed with dance scholarship and a phenomenal performance memory, to Baryshnikov on a plate. Often his erudition was crucial; a Soviet...
...best shots are of dancers with their dogs, hauled along on the lonely tours. And the piles of pointe shoes, grubby, used-up torture instruments. A ballerina can go through three or four pairs a performance. A.B.T.'s yearly bill is more than $300,000, and that's not Kleenex...
