...premieres to come, Robbins had very strong entries. For opening night he created a gossamer duet for Darci Kistler and Ib Andersen to the second movement of the Piano Concerto No. 1. The dancers seem to be skating-two very young lovers etching their joy on a pond by moonlight. This is a charming little lyric that never takes itself, or figure skating, seriously. Still, in the subtle use of half-and three-quarter-point work for the radiant Kistler, Robbins manages to give toe shoes the rocking balance of a skate blade...
Romance is not dead; it is just very, very expensive. While the CPI (Consumer Price Index) rose 258% in the past 25 years, the CLI (Cost of Loving Index) soared 420% during the same period.

It was late, but not yet midnight; now the buses had stopped the polished roads and streets in this region sent for minutes together a ghostly unbroken reflection up. The soaring new flats and the crouching old shops and houses looked equally brittle under the moon, which blazed in windows that looked its way. The futility of the black-out became laughable: from the sky, presumably, you could...
