Lowell Thomas just keeps on schussing-even on his 85th birthday. A ski trip to the Canadian Rockies ended a 50,000-mile honeymoon for the peripatetic broadcaster and his second wife, Marianna Munn, 49. The couple married on Jan. 5 and wandered through the South Seas, the Far East, the Himalayas, Alaska and other exotic spots that Thomas has visited in his 60 or so years of roving the globe. Now back home in Pawling, N. Y., he is hard at work on his 54th book-the second volume of his autobiography, So Long Until Tomorrow-and is also...
...Revolution. The Canadian bass Victor Braun and the American coloratura Jeanette Scovotti, both of whom work primarily in Europe, made a valiant pair of lovers. John Moulson, a member of East Berlin's Komische Oper, sang the wizard with an uncommonly sweet and powerful tenor.

Her godfather Drosselmeyer, brilliantly portrayed by Alexander Minz, is both fatherly and aboil with suppressed eroticism. Baryshnikov accents mystery and the paradox of the light and dark faces of the human soul. Stage Designer Boris Aronson's huge painted panels and fantasy murals...
...characteristic swivels and slides may look improvised, but Tharp's dances are planned down to the final blink. At rehearsals she snapped out commands: "Soft elbows, make sure you lift your skirts, ladies, watch your eleves," or "That retard should last forever, Marianna-you have a full second." In Tharp time, a second is an eternity. Her dancers are given a lot to do in the space of a beat. In one seemingly continuous motion, swaying hips slink into wiggles that burst into furious pirouettes, then stop on a dime and reverse directions. It is as if Tharp worked...
