...littered walks gather the old, the warped, the baffled, the embittered, the workless, aimless flotsam of a great city. A faded woman in an antiquated ball dress and long black gloves glides along, clutching a parasol. Two fat, coarse-faced girls stroll hand in hand. An old man sits limp and vacant-eyed, numbed by the weight of his loneliness...
...searching for ways to a rapprochement, the Chinese leadership aims at aggravating differences." Equally Matched. If that was Peking's purpose, it could find no better man than Teng. Short, stocky, in his 60s, Teng was believed badly crippled in the Chinese civil war, still has a limp and a nervous tic when he speaks-which does not keep him from speaking often and abrasively.

Locked together, they reel toward the incandescent core of an atomic furnace...
...that she is 43, the rest of her body is even more expressive than her articulate legs and feet. For one exquisite moment in their carefree love scene, as Rudolf carries Margot downstage, holding her high, the bones seem to melt out of her joints and she becomes more limp than a rag doll. Nureyev is inspired by her virtuosity. In scene after scene, they act out the passionate affair of Marguerite and Armand. Denied an opportunity to show off his airborne virtuosity, only in the betrayal scene does Nureyev show the hot Tartar blood of which he boasts. Fonteyn...
