...Royal Ballet. Theirs are full-length, three-act pieces that use the muscularly bejeweled Prokofiev score. Tudor's 50-minute ballet is based on several wetly romantic pieces by English Composer Frederick Delius. Where Prokofiev pants, Delius sighs; where the Russian stomps, the Briton floats. Tudor, a pioneer in bringing psychological realism to ballet, matches the soft, antique mood of the score. The gemlike production looks like a Botticelli painting in motion...

America's airlines are beginning to follow the lead of the nation's railroads in operating on almost Oriental time schedules. Appliance repairmen are as devoted to the mañana principle as Mexican peons: department stores promise delivery of goods in weeks rather than days; the Post Office makes the Pony Express seem like the very...
