Yuri Vladimirov, with his unruly shock of hair and the untamed passion of his dancing, is reminiscent of Rudolf Nureyev. In The Flames of Paris last week, he burst across the stage with a round of incredibly high, twisting jumps, whirled whippet-quick through half a dozen spinning leaps in which his body seemed almost parallel to the stage, then snapped into a one-knee landing that left the audience gasping. Though the lyrical side of his artistry is still maturing, the solid, long-limbed Vladimirov exhibits an aerial freedom and heroic virility that few male dancers can match...
McKenzie is that rarity among academics, the readable expert: his trim prose glitters with aphorisms-and with, for a Catholic priest, unconventional ideas. He has kind words to say for Protestant Demythologizer Rudolf Bultmann, carefully argues that parts of the Gospels are not historical in the modern sense, accepts the validity of form criticism, which assumes that certain sayings of Jesus were created by the early church. Under the circumstances, it is no surprise that the Vatican regards him as a rather disturbing thinker. Besides the normal prepublication censorship to which all priest-scholars must submit, McKenzie has to have...
...days earlier. KER-BLAM! went the sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun fired for a sound test. "O say! can you see . . ." roared the 3,200 New York City schoolchildren in the Met's new, $45,700,000 house in Manhattan's Lincoln Center. General Manager Rudolf Bing, 64, cocked an expert ear at all the noise and reported: "We're in great shape." Then the kids settled down for a performance of Puccini's La Fanciulla del West, the first show in the new quarters, which open officially in September...
...wily South African entrepreneur named Rudolf Raphaely, who was attempting to run 400,000 tons of crude oil from the Persian Gulf to Rhodesia's main oil terminal-the Portuguese Mozambique port of Beira, which is connected with landlocked Rhodesia by a 187-mile pipeline. For weeks British warships had discouraged tankers from putting into Beira. Undaunted, one of Raphaely's ships, flying a Greek flag, quietly loaded 18,000 tons of crude in the Iranian port of Bandar Mashur and steamed around the northern coast of Africa to Dakar, where it changed its name to Ioanna...
...move mountains, all this tentative groping for God in human experience may seem unnecessary. The man-centered approach to God runs against Earth's warning that a "God" found in human depths may be an imagined idol?or a neurosis that could be dissolved on the psychiatrist's couch. Rudolf Bultmann answers that these human situations of anxiety and discernment represent "transformations of God," and are the only way that secular man is likely to experience any sense of the eternal and unconditional...
