Bruce was soon well enough for the 90-mile ride to Billings, Mont. There X rays located the bullet - in Bruce's left knee.

Car ried along with the blood, the slug went through the mitral valve into the left ventricle and up through the aortic valve.

The ballet had some stunning virtuoso bits: a pas de ruban running like a thread through the first two scenes, m which the lovers reel each other in and out of elaborate cats' cradles of pink rib bon; a scene-setting dance by a "cock and four rumpled "hens," whose strutting absurdities are closely modeled on th fowl Ashton observes at his Suffolk country home ("La Fille is my poor man's Pastoral Symphony...
