...pitch to 442, half a notch higher than the New York Philharmonic's 441.5. In Berlin, the Radio Symphony Orchestra soars to 446, enough to make singers' eyes pop on a top note. If the strain proves too great, they could take refuge in Moscow, where orchestras revel in a plushy, warm tone achieved by a larynx-relaxing 435 cycles...
...steps-taps, triple wings, toe tips, pendulum wings, cramp rolls, heel drops, heel digs, nerve taps, hops, jumps, heel cramps and flash finishes.

All he produces, however, is fantastic confusion. The sex scenes seem, at times, consciously parodistic, as do the depictions of Jones' detached intelligentsia. Jones' characters laughably strive to look forevermore-exotic features of the human sexuality, and the "fuck or be fucked" psychology that goes with their struggling; while their individualistically "radical" political...
