PAUL TAYLOR COMPANY. A former Graham disciple, Taylor is a modern dancer tantalized by ballet. His hip thrusts and broad jumps are as big and cheerful as he is. His linear choreography has satiric bite. Esplanade, a new piece, will be shown during a June 10-15 engagement at Manhattan's Lyceum Theater...
OTHER U.S. DANCE COMPANIES. The dance explosion is not confined to New York. Ten years ago there were two professional dance companies outside of Manhattan with budgets exceeding $100,000. Last year there were 20. Bustling activity in other U.S. companies, like the San Francisco Ballet, reflects the new enthusiasm for dance. There is wit behind the footwork of San Francisco's Alexander Filipov, who is yet another Kirov-trained dancer. Dramatic range, nervy dancing and a varied repertory -Giselle, Merce Cunningham's Winterbranch-place the Boston Ballet high on the list. Small wonder that subscriptions nearly tripled...
When Halston presented his fall collection in Manhattan last week, one model looked as if she dreamed she was at Fort Knox. Clad in long green Ultrasuede evening culottes and a creamy silk shirt open to the waist, she wore for toppers a bra of solid gold mesh.

...assertiveness takes a variety of forms. Judith Jones, a graduate of a Manhattan course, points out: "I was the kind of person who was grateful for every promotion I got, when actually, goddammit, I had earned them." Stanlee Phelps, a psychiatric social worker who helps to teach courses at a community health center in Thousand Oaks, Calif., says: "You wouldn't believe the degree of non-assertiveness we've found at the start of our classes: divorced women who continue to do their ex-husbands' laundry, fearing that they will lose their support money if they refuse...
Died. Kenneth B. Keating, 74, ambassador to Israel; of heart disease; in Manhattan. A gregarious, backslapping lawyer in Buffalo, Republican Keating served six terms in the House before winning a Senate seat in 1958. "Politics," he joked, "is the ability to get money from the rich and votes from the poor while convincing both you are protecting each from the other." Crushed by Bobby Kennedy in his bid for reelection, Keating was named ambassador to India in 1969, and to Israel in 1973. In these posts he evolved a characteristically jocular definition of diplomacy: "Remembering a lady's birthday...
