...Nebraska four days before the primary, seemingly inviting votes. Now he plans to stay out of Oregon, California and South Dakota until those primaries are over. McCarthy, who is on the ballot against Kennedy in the three remaining contests, vows to fight it out, spurning the New Yorker's offer to join forces...

This left the rather depressing impression that all young choreographers around here are thinking and producing the same dreary stuff...
