Last week U.S.W. President Lloyd McBride tried again, this time with an imaginative appeal not just for a wage freeze but for what would have amounted to an unprecedented pay and benefits cut of nearly 10% in the first year of a new multiyear contract. The deal would have required the U.S.W., in effect, to tear up its existing two-year-old contract, which does not formally expire until next August, and sign a new 45-month contract under which the steel companies would set up generous profit-sharing plans for U.S.W. members...
Even in this season's less than robust crop, there are some potential export candidates. Among the one-acters, The New Girl, by Vaughn McBride is a very winning entry.

...Andersen) but about City Ballet. If there were surprises, there were traditional elements: Balanchine working with Farrell, his principal muse of the past two decades, and Karin von Aroldingen, the ballerina who is perhaps closest to him personally; Robbins pushing the younger dancers but not forgetting Patricia McBride, his Girl in Pink in Dances at a Gathering (1969).

Darci's career is only a few months old, yet her parents are already beset by promoters who are seeking endorsements. That's how fast a new sunbeam travels...
