...People's Republic of China. A five-city U.S. tour began last week at New York's Metropolitan Opera House, and will play in Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Berkeley and Los Angeles. The opening-night program left memories of sumptuous and exotic stage pictures that will linger in the mind's eye and a sense that one has enjoyed a handful of highly privileged theatrical moments...
...play is rather like one of those examination tests against the clock in which the student is urged not to linger unduly over the puzzlers but to try to complete as many questions as possible. Whiting gets through a lot of questions, but the answers are in invisible...
Energy instruction in other cities is generally less formal, though the impact of student thinking has been striking. In the Los Angeles school system, teachers begin focusing on energy at the kindergarten level, urging kids to turn off lights and not to linger in front of an open refrigerator for long, languid looks.

It is best to come in fired up, blow off steam quickly, and then leave quickly, rather than stay on a few extra days to sit sipping gin and tonics and waiting for more craziness and wild adventures that never quite materialize. In the end, Namo and I probably stayed one day too long. Four days was enough to get some good sun, meet some interesting people, and find the good nightclubs, the bad clubs, and, accidentally, the gay clubs; five days...
