...lyricism, and Paul Russell, all crackling magnetic energy, who were the undisputed stars of the evening. In William Dollar's Combat they achieved what some others are not yet quite up to: the melting intuitive linking of movements that occurs as dancers move beyond the science of ballet nearer...
...Suitors. In Wall Street jargon, Aztec had become a highly desirable "special situation," offering solid reasons for expecting big increases in profits. Total deregulation of gas prices could mean for Aztec a price of about $1.50 per 1,000 cu. ft. of gas-almost four times its current average.

Although cast in the genre's typically repetitive structure, "Format VI," one of Brenda Way's two works, ironically undercuts the idea of mathematical/conceptual/schematized dance.

(It later turned out that the flight was sponsored by the Animal Welfare Institute, in an effort to get the Emperor to join the fight against the commercial slaughter of whales.) As the plane drew nearer, the anxious Secret Service was told by air controllers that the pilot was carefully sticking to a legal route down nearby K Street. Even so, agents radioed the command to have the pilot veer...
