The organ of the loosely knit Democratic Movement in Russia, the Chronicle provides accurate and exhaustive news of the arrests and trials of dissidents that are not reported in the official press. In spite of frequent efforts by the KGB (secret police) to halt the Chronicle's widespread underground circulation, 27 issues have appeared regularly since publication began in 1968.

One of the best of them is Leslie Watanabe, who danced a leading role in McKayle's new Sojourn as though the work were not about a few visits, but about all time. Set to a wryly dissonant musical trifle, Rapsodie á Sept by André Jolivet, Sojourn sent the dancers back and forth in changing patterns like travelers meeting briefly at a crossroads. Another Inner City star is Michele...
