...Speed of Sound, out two months and already gone way past gold (a million dollars' worth of album sales) into platinum (a million albums sold). His group, Wings, provides him with full-force backing, surprisingly stronger in performance than on records: Lead Guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and Rhythm Guitarist-and sometime vocalist -Denny Laine, co-founder of the Moody Blues, give McCartney a brawny underpinning of sound, while Joe English whacks away at the drums.

...aims to develop the germinal idea in phases. Mallardi welcomes unpredictability in her students and shies away from learning by rote; still her dancers must justify every urge. "Currents Cast," the first piece in the program, transforms the contradictions and releases basic to every modern Graham class into the rhythm of ebb and flow near the ocean's floor. But while the reflected images swim beautifully and smoothly overlap, they are inpalpable, slipping like water from the hand...
