Such pessimists ignore conciliation: an ancient art that has served mankind through centuries of quarrelsome existence. To be sure, attempts at conciliation are often futile until the combatants reach exhaustion. Henry Clay's compromises merely delayed the Civil War that Abraham Lincoln had to win before the Union could be restored. It is not the United Nations that prevents World War III but the balance of nuclear terror...
...Time, fall 1966; place, Lincoln Center. In her dressing room at the new home of the New York City Opera, Beverly is following the operatic custom of recalling events too numerous and complex to fit dramatically into a single scene. In the dazzling aria di bravura, Wasn't It Operatic?, she sings of her successful debut in Die Fledermaus in 1955, and of her subsequent leading roles in Faust, Don Giovanni and The Ballad of Baby Doe.

During its spring season at the New York State Theater of Lincoln Center, it displayed a repertory of 41 dances, a chiaroscuro of choreographic talent unmatched by any company in the world. A good three-quarters of the works were created by George Balanchine, 64, who uncharacteristically looked into his past by re-creating his first big Broadway hit, Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, from the 1936 production On Your Toes...
