...Cleopatra, Cinemactress Liz Taylor, 28, swathed herself in black from rain-hatted head right on down past pelvis-hugging slacks to cowboy-booted toes, joined Husband Eddie Fisher, 33, on a shopping expedition in Rome. Even in this relatively chaste garb, Liz proved capable of disrupting traffic, had to leap from the path of a gaping motorist who forgot for a moment where his brake...
...underlying most attitudes is that there are no moral limits to the damage we may inflict on the enemy at a distance," though there are still some scruples about what may be done to individuals at close hand. The U.S., Bennett feels, is in danger of making "a moral leap from the posture of deterrence to the will to initiate nuclear war at some stage in a conflict, and that this moral leap has not been faced and discussed among us."

Where the Bolshoi is flamboyant, dramatic and unabashedly fond of popular acclaim, the Kirov is precise, understated, a trifle aristocratic. The Bolshoi's prima ballerina may dash the length of the stage to leap into Prince Siegfried's arms with breathtaking drama in the Black Swan pas de deux of Swan Lake; Zubkovskaya takes a few brief steps and makes the leap with a rippling grace that is equally breathtaking. The Kirov's tempo is more often a stately adagio than a flashy presto...
