...passion that underlies Bach's formal rhythms, notably in the serpentine, body-entangling duets of Patricia McBride and Helgi Tomasson, which are to the sophisticated eye more erotic than anything in Oh, Calcutta! Small human touches abound: John Clifford, as the leader of a group, suddenly stands motionless in seeming awe as dancers twirl and leap around him; an acrobatic quartet of male dancers cartwheels and somersaults like refugees from the Moiseyev Dance Company. Robbins, however, never loses the architectural contour of the piece. More often than not, soloists are displayed, not for and by themselves, but in relationship...
Humiliations. Jane never gets out of Louisiana. But she has begun a pilgrimage of the soul, at first so creepingly tentative that she seems to be motionless. She marries a broncobuster who is killed by a black stallion. An orphaned boy she has adopted grows up to be a schoolteacher. For his premature ideas about civil rights ("Don't run and do fight"), a hired gun shoots him down...

It would seem that there is nothing more to learn from another look at the warnothing, that is, until a first-rate photographer puts together a collection of black and white pictures...

Indian and oriental tops lie motionless on their sides recuperating from their featured billing in 1969 (Eames' film entitled Tops...
...some members carrying Molotov cocktails. Police and civilian witnesses differ on who opened fire first, but shooting broke out. Some of the firing apparently was done by Broussard and another jittery grocery-store owner, Sidney Forman. When the shooting was over, three blacks were wounded and a fourth lay motionless under a street lamp for more than two hours; both police and residents feared to present themselves as targets in the light. The man, Kenneth Borden, 24, was dead when residents finally reached him. Sporadic violence, mostly firebombings, continued nightly in and outside the project, as the death in Desire...
