...Vincente Nebrada. This is a steamy little tale of a Moorish slave in 17th century Venice who loves a courtesan who loves his owner-prince, and who is eventually skewered to death by the prince's evil sisters in the Venetian equivalent to a voodoo ceremony. As the luckless, lovelorn slave, an expressive young dancer named Christopher Aponte is called upon to perform a sensuous duet with the courtesan's red cloak, leaving the unfortunate impression that he is secretly a cloth fetishist...

Two years ago, for example, undefeated U.C.L.A. sailed into South Bend, Ind., and was scuttled in one of the most startling upsets of the season...
