...Serious Division." Unlike male deacons, for whom the office is normally a one-year prelude to ordination as a priest, deaconesses have not been al lowed to distribute Communion or administer sacraments to the sick. Pike believes that he can change this rule because of a word-switch in canon law made by the church's General Convention last year; women now are "ordered" deaconesses by a bishop, instead of "appointed." The convention also dropped the canonical provision that deaconesses must be single or widowed, but Mrs. Edwards says, "I have no desire to marry again...
...called ballet "renaissance" that you credit to visits by the Royal Danish and Royal Ballet actually originated in America's Ballet Theatre-the cradle of Jerome Robbins, Michael Kidd and Eugene Loring, to name a few. If anyone had anything to do with freeing the male danseur of sexual suspicion it was these gentlemen, and, of course, Agnes de Mille.

Five months after his defection, Nureyev received an invitation from Margot Fonteyn to dance at her annual London charity gala. Both were so instantly taken with each other ("He is the first Russian I met who can make me laugh...
...prince. Most dancers would have sheepishly carried on. Not Rudi. He stopped the orchestra, stalked offstage, rubbed rosin on his shoes and started all over again. He attends class every day without fail, will spend hours working on a step that is merely a preparation. Unlike some male virtuosos, who are notoriously bad partners and seem to be waiting only for the moment when they can show off their own wares, Nureyev is acclaimed by every ballerina he has ever danced with as a totally sympathetic partner, showing off his ballerina in their pas de deux with dedicated deference.
