Such levers need not be used: the mere threat of intervention by men who are ill-trained for administrative matters, who are organized for debate, not action, who lack staffs adequate even for their own tasks, and who are all too often moved by politics pure and simple, would be enough. It would be enough to demolish what remains of morale after years of abuse and charges of communism and homosexuality.

Contact with the average middle-class German mind was such a shock that I was practically forced to make a study of history and of international relations.

New York's ballet company is remarkable in still another way: it is not simply a showcase for a few rare stars, such as the Danilovas, Markovas and Fonteyns of other troupes. The company offers a fresh tradition almost equally adaptable to any of its leading dancers, and its proudest possession is a chorus that can dance rings around any other. When New York City Ballet Company dancers become "ballerina-minded," wrap the public...
