...Bolshoi Ballet is well into its fourth U.S. tour in 16 years. The Moiseyev folk dancers are regular visitors to America. Nureyev, Makarova, Baryshnikov, Vishnevskaya and Rostropovich are now residents in the West. What more could Russia possibly offer American audiences? The Bolshoi Opera, for one. Though in recent years the Bolshoi has visited Osaka, Tokyo, Montreal, Paris and Milan, it was not until last week at New York's Metropolitan Opera that the company set foot, props and double bass pins on U.S. soil.

...grubby Great White Way. It was claimed that actors could not step outside the greenroom without getting goosed or mugged. Today, says A Little Night Music's Hermione Gingold, "There are far less evil-looking people around." Two days later, an uptown precinct tried to persuade the visiting Moiseyev troupe of folk dancers that Central Park was safe. Not a bicycle thief was in sight when Patrolman Murray Trelford and eight of his colleagues challenged the 30 Russians to a Frisbee game on the Great Lawn.
