...performance, it was usually because Elaine Bauer danced Princess Aurora (she alternated in the title role with Laura Young and Durine Alinova).

While the background music of the Chambers Brothers' "The Time Has Come Today" gets louder and louder, the tension mounts--Dern aims his deranged look and the automatic weapon held in his shaky...
