...South America and Asia, but they have yet to develop a major choreographer of their own or a ballerina of international repute. Thus when the company finally got up the courage to assault the U.S. for a ten-week tour, Co-Directors Peggy van Praagh and Robert Helpmann cajoled Rudi Nureyev into appearing as guest artist in his own staging of Don Quixote; they also imported New Zealand-born Lucette Aldous of Britain's Royal Ballet to dance the heroine...
...bunkum!" snorted Home Secretary Reginald Maudling when a television interviewer asked him if he thought Britain was abandoning some of its cherished liberal traditions. There were, however, many Britons who were prepared to challenge Maudling on that point last week as a result of his handling of the "Red" Rudi Dutschke case.

But if charm counts for anything, and it certainly does among the matrons and patrons of the Met, Gentele should be able to match Rudi Bing and endure for quite a while himself. He is a man of slender elegance with a graceful manner and clear, purposeful blue eyes. His wife Marit, a trim, Nordic-blonde who could have stepped out of a Bergman movie, is fond of pointing out that Goran has a master...
