...really an incredible thing, quite an experience"--deadpan. People laugh nervously, impressed. It doesn't seem to occur to them that Pacino wasn't born with those hard Corleone eyes, that even, noncommital Corleone voice.

Both works were to remain Stravinsky's most popular with the public, to his eventual dismay. They also established his lifelong identification with the dance, which in later years produced notable collaborations with George Balanchine...
