Swirling Sequence. At the gala, he appeared twice, the first time in the Don Quixote pas de deux with Noella Pontois, a soubrette-style dancer from the Paris Opéra Ballet. After one swirling sequence of pantherlike turns, he landed - not just on one knee as most dancers would, but on one knee with the other leg fully extended. It was a daring variant on a familiar bit of acrobatics, since Baryshnikov is quite likely to break an ankle if his timing is a split second...
...work to make other people happy." And her eyes light up. She loves to make people happy. And what's wrong with that?, the film seems to ask. There are plenty of shots of Xaviera bicycling along the city streets in the little tam-o'-shanter, plaid skirts, knee socks, of Xaviera leading her girls in a morning jog through Central Park; of Xaviera making everyone happy by giving her girls elegant clothes and indulging her men in their secret fantasies.

Instead of rejoicing, though, farmers are nervously wondering whether they will be able to find markets for all the corn and grain from the huge harvests expected this year. Normally, 25% of all U.S. grain is exported to foreign buyers, who pay about $10 billion a year. Now that giant market is being threatened by a scandal involving: 1) bribery and fraud in federally licensed grain-inspection procedures, 2) suspected skimming of grain off export cargoes by the operators of grain elevators, and 3) laxity by the Department...
