...readers with insights of their own. All three were strong and inherently controversial works -Rufino Tamayo's stoic study of Actress Jeanne Moreau (TIME, March 5); Ben Shahn's volatile gouache of Martin Luther King (March 19); Sidney Nolan's evanescent whirl of Dancer Rudolf Nureyev (April 16). Some readers found them unusually exciting; others objected vigorously, and a few thought them downright malicious...
...shared the limelight with a new friend, James Nathan Jr., 3, from The Bronx. Without a single line of oratory, he caused a small traffic jam on Broadway as he left the musical Any Wednesday, next night got caught in the celebrity jam that turned out to see Rudolf Nureyev on the Royal Ballet's opening night.

...there are different kinds of truth and beauty. A 21-day, $895 International Dance Tour of European cities, leaving New York Aug. 2, has nothing to do with Nureyev. Social dancing is what it's all about, and the trip will give light-footed vacationers "instruction under the most world-famous teachers" as well as "new and lasting friendships in foreign countries." Dancing partners, for those traveling solo, are guaranteed each and every evening. Those who like their friendships more violent may join the Judo Friendship Tour of Japan (about $1,395 for 14 arm-twisting days). Included...
