...unable to comprehend that, as a nobleman, he just cannot have this terrific peasant girl. He excels at shrewd, straightforward comedy. In Frederick Ashton's Les Patineurs, the dancers appear to be on ice skates. Misha seems about to fall over backward at times-a mime performance that Marcel Marceau might envy. Perhaps his greatest tour de force so far is Roland Petit's Le Jeune Homme et la Mart. The ballet is a cartoon of existential angst, but, leaping over bed, chair and table, Baryshnikov turns it into a young man's rage at mortality...
Twenty minutes of Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger (TIME, April 14) were deleted before its American release. Currently, a new work by Marcel Ophuls is being re-edited and thoroughly reworked. The Memory of Justice, a meticulous and moving examination of the Nuremberg war trials, was made with the same stringent conscience and intellect that characterized The Sorrow and the Pity, Ophuls' monumental study of France during the Resistance.

No one who has seen any of Ophuls' previous work would ever believe...
...whodunit and finds a nihilistic link between the Viet Nam War and the drug culture. The arts and letters award was shared by Lewis Thomas' The Lives of a Cell, a meditation on the structure of all living matter, and Roger Shattuck's life of Marcel Proust. For the recently created category, contemporary affairs, the judges put together a list of nominees that included Bernstein and Woodward's All the President's Men and Robert Caro's The Power Broker. They finally chose Theodore Rosengarten's All God's Dangers, the unforgettable memoir...
Split Decision. The deal may still be partially upset by European domestic politics. Norway and Denmark have already chosen the F16, but the consortium may yet be split by Mirage-maker Marcel Dassault's offer of a discount to Belgium and The Netherlands if both countries buy the French fighter. Earlier versions of the Mirage make up at least half of Belgium's fighter fleet. The Belgian Socialist Party supports the French plane because a Dassault plant in that country employs more than 80 workers. The Dutch will make no official decision until after the congress...
