...those eager, excited eyes…breathless, blushed faces…pulsing, engorged loins....Yes, it’s nice to have an injection of vigorous youth jammed right into the blocked aorta of our faded ’n’ jaded student body. Like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, Harvard Yard gasped back to life with a much-needed shot of red folders and romantic idealism...
...show is Baryshnikov's. He might have been embarrassed at having elements of his autobiography drossed into pulp fiction; instead he displays a muscular, ironic elegance. And when he throws himself into an improvisatorial solo to the folk strains of Outcast Singer Vladimir Vysotsky, Baryshnikov creates a tingling explosion of anger, isolation, homesickness and ferocity. Any viewer not wiped out by this dance is hereby excused from the human race. For all its superpower simplifications, White Nights has discovered in Baryshnikov a keen and passionate movie hero. Giggle at the film's naiveté; then feast on Misha and dance down...
...timers are turning bluer too--perhaps as a result of choking on the polluted air that issues from the state's assorted smelters, refineries, pulp mills, oil and gas wells and non-emission-controlled exhaust pipes. The inevitable legacy of almost everyone doing pretty much anything he wished is a huge environmental mess, from the copper mines of Butte, where the water table is thick with heavy metals, to the asbestos mines of Libby, where laborers are dying in large numbers from chronic respiratory ailments.

He was also quirky and instinctive, peppering his letters with slang like "gee" and "do-vey" (meaning good) and bursts of imagination: "I felt quite funny when Freud died, it was like having a continent disappear." Or, after a nosebleed: "I've noticed that...
...went after Crown Zellerbach for its almost 2 million acres of timberland holdings. Said he: "It's a huge gamble, but in the long run the price of timber will rise." Some industry observers think that he may restructure the company, keeping the forest holdings but selling off pulp and paper mills. In 1982 Goldsmith purchased Diamond International, another timber-products company, and then sold off pulp, paper and other divisions for an estimated $500 million gain. SCANDALS $10 Million in Back Taxes...
