...Azur, it had on board a classic boatload of cash and culture. Some 200 music lovers paid up to $4,500 to glide around the Mediterranean to the personal accompaniment of the likes of Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, Violinist Alexander Schneider, Flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal and Dancer Rudi Nureyev. Each day the geniuses would entertain the guests. Rostropovich, who left Russia on a two-year visa last May, was the star both on and off stage. He hammed it up on the ship's piano clad in a bathrobe, and when the ship arrived in Istanbul, he went ashore...
...Last week, however, WCBS-TV gambled that its New York audience was ready for social satire. It let loose Jackie Onassis' younger sister as a probing interviewer. Recently Lee taped for CBS-owned stations Interviews with John Kenneth Galbraith, Gloria Steinem, Halston, Robert Coles, Peter Benchley and Rudolf Nureyev. If successful, they could earn Lee her own talk show. For 2½ minutes on the evening news last week Lee, dressed with unrelenting chic and speaking in a throaty mid-Atlantic drawl, questioned Rudi about his life and work.

His phenomenal double turns in air and grands jetês were done with a breathtaking ease that did not call attention to itself...

"Then I really bit into the forbidden fruit and I couldn't tear myself away." From Riga he went to Leningrad, where, like Nureyev, he studied with Ballet Master Alexander Pushkin. At 18, Baryshnikov joined the Kirov as a soloist...
...Fille Mal Gardée represents a total contrast in mood. In the Royal's English version, choreographed by Sir Frederick Ashton, it is like an animated John Constable landscape. The story tells of the romance between young Farmer Colas (Nureyev) and Lise (Merle Park), daughter of the ambitious widow Simone. With English country dancing and an intricate cavort around a Maypole, it is by no means all Nureyev's show. The familiar danseur noble, burning with erotic fervor, vanished. In his place was an impish rustic, playing cat's cradle, exploding from a stack of wheat...
