...reaching work, were forced to seek out virtually unattainable hotel rooms and suffered all the icy vicissitudes common last week to so many of their fellow Americans. Cover Writer Ed Magnuson, who performed his duties in the comfortable 70° temperature of his 25th-floor office overlooking a frigid Manhattan, had no difficulty even in those circumstances in conjuring up the vivid sensations of his Minnesota boyhood, when winter temperatures could dip as low as -40° and cross-country skiing on the Mississippi River outside his door was a fairly common sport. The cold fact is that this...
...unusually heavy ice submerged or moved navigational buoys. No one wanted to risk yet another major oil-tanker disaster. Icebreakers rammed their curved prows against ice up to 18 in. thick to keep the Hudson open as far north as Albany.

He cooks...
This December, Gregory took to her toes tentatively during A.B.T.'s run at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. A month later, a very nervous Swanhilda waited in the wings at City Center in Manhattan as the curtain rose on A.B.T.'s opening-night Coppélia. Scarcely had her satin shoes flashed into view, when the first volley of bravos rolled through the theater. The orchestra played on for several bars, then stopped. Gregory, misty-eyed, curtsied for more than two minutes before the show could proceed. In the dance world such a demonstration is rare...
