...many ways Nureyev is more alone than he was on first coming to the West. He speaks wistfully of the beautiful rivers of Ufa, in Bashkir, where he spent his childhood. It is touching to hear him refer involuntarily to the Leningrad Kirov Ballet as "we." Nearing his peak, today Nureyev dances with the familiar bravado, but also a consistency he did not have ten years ago. Finally willing to jettison his princely plumage, he uncovered a gift for simplicity that makes it seem plausible he will some day be as relaxed dancing with his shoes...
...junior Dick Raines tread too rashly through the treacherous turns and took a top-spin tumble. Though tripped up this time, Raines, who last year worked as a Guatemalan teamster, intends to take himself to the top of eastern alpine skiing. He titilated expectations in the tilt at Jimminy Peak last week where he tamed all other skiers and took the trophy...

In the community around the Library site, existing outdoor day-time 10-percentile noise levels range 51-78 dBA, depending on location and day of the week. The 10 percentile daytime noise levels for 17 sampling locations averaged 71 dBA during weekday peak traffic hours, and 67 dBA on Sunday afternoons. Thus the area is already fairly noisy...
...projected Library-related traffic is expected to increase the afore-mentioned average noise levels in the peak year of visitation to 72 dBA during weekday peak hours and 71 dBA on Sunday afternoons. These noise increases of 1-4 dBA are hardly significant but must be considered in the context that noise levels are already high enough (above 70 dBA) to cause significant interference with conversational speech in many outdoor areas...
