...Year's Eve made their way into port as hundreds of Israelis cheered and ships' sirens split the air. Prayers of thanksgiving were recited in synagogues. Diners toasted the crewmen and exchanged gunboat jokes, some of them wordplays on the name of General Mordechai ("Moka") Limon, Israel's chief of arms purchasing in Europe and the man in charge of the Cherbourg escape. One joke had France's President Georges Pompidou walking into a French cafe and gloomily telling a waiter: "I'll have coffee without moka and my wife will have tea without limon...
Cunningham's following among spectators was equally uncertain. Unlike either Graham or Limon, he was known only to the relatively small group of hard-core modern dance appreciators. Yet this past Sunday saw the big house of the Brooklyn Academy of Music full of attentive, enthusiastic viewers. And, back home in lower Manhattan Cunningham and his lead dancer, Carolyn Brown, run one of the most active dance schools in the country...
...translated into words or music. It has no explicitly dramatic or psychological content. Particular movements may evoke emotional responses in the audience, but these responses will vary from person to person. Cunningham is interested in movement itself, "the physical image, fleeting or static." Unlike Graham in "Clytemnestra" or Limon in "The Moor's Pavane," he has never dramatized a legend.

Girls are especially close to their counselors, whom they meet weekly for "encounters" on every subject from existentialist philosophy to their love life. Graduates often fetch up in the arts; among...
...philanthropists of the 1870s, aimed at "the cultural and intellectual advancement of Jewish young men." At first that meant luring immigrant kids off the streets with hot showers and 50 violin lessons. Later it meant developing the New York Pro Musica ensemble, harboring dancers from Martha Graham to Jose Limon, and attracting some of the most literate audiences in the U.S. While salvaging such once-poor Jewish boys as Bernard Baruch and Billy Rose, the 92nd Street YMHA has always refused to be parochial. In 1880, for example, it led New York Jews in raising cash for "the starving people...
