Last Friday, I walked ten blocks in a snowstorm to talk to the chair of the Democratic National Committee. The DNC chair (Ten dollars if you can come up with his name by the end of this paragraph) is just one of the many roving Democratic poobahs who have recently fanned out across the country in a barrage of talk shows and sound bites--revivalists urging their congregations to listen to Clinton and be saved. These messengers of goodwill have been sent out to make nice with the locals and drum up grass-roots support that will convince mean...

The paragraph on Mr. B. mentions none of his landmark ballets but cites instead his glitzy dances for films like I Was an Adventuress. Ignored also are Balanchine's two greatest contemporaries: Antony Tudor and Sir Frederick Ashton...
