...about City Ballet. If there were surprises, there were traditional elements: Balanchine working with Farrell, his principal muse of the past two decades, and Karin von Aroldingen, the ballerina who is perhaps closest to him personally; Robbins pushing the younger dancers but not forgetting Patricia McBride, his Girl in Pink in Dances at a Gathering (1969). But the story of N.Y.C.B. was best told in the frequent use of apprentices and students from the company-related School of American Ballet. Both John Taras, one of the ballet masters, and Peter Martins, the company's top male dancer...
Only two months after the eruption, small green parsley ferns and skunk cabbage were found pushing through the volcanic ash in sheltered areas along a creek on the mountain slope. Now the pink flowers of fireweed, a low-growing bush that is traditionally one of the first plants to colonize disturbed areas, have begun to add a touch of color to slopes and clear areas, still covered with ash and mud. Lupines are beginning to grow along erosion channels. Tiny fir trees, freed from competition with their fallen parents, are expected to take advantage of the extra sunlight and make...
...everyone else (including the salary differential) tend to fade, like the colors of a chameleon, after a few years in the corporate world. Others, however, seem permanently tinted, chameleons that have mysteriously evolved into some slightly more agile species of lizard.

One of six children of a Rhode Island family (his younger brother plays shortstop for the Chicago White Sox), Almon majored in psychology and literature at Brown University, then got an M.B.A. from Harvard...
...members are younger, more attractive, tirelessly drilled. On opening night they danced with unity, grace and fervor. Baryshnikov revived one of the gala ballets, Frederick Ashton's feather-light Les Rendezvous, just to show off the corps. He has high hopes for these girls in white tulle and pink ribbons and their cavaliers...
...flurry of critical raves. Earl Owensby (Shelby), who built himself the largest single film studio outside Los Angeles, announces in Variety that Living Legend, which he produced and starred in, has grossed $11,284,028. John Waters (Baltimore), who earned a cult reputation with the fecally funky Pink Flamingos, is going respectably R rated with Tab Hunter and Polyester. John Sayles' no-budget comedy, Return of the Secaucus 7 (North Conway), has earned $1.2 million in small theaters around the country. And a group of ornery independents have organized to show their films in a Manhattan art house. Viewers...
