...where British promises are concerned. Early last week several dismissed talk of devaluation. "A temporary respite," said the Deutsche Bank's Hermann Abs. "Not a real solution," observed Swiss Union Bank Chairman Dr. Alfred Schaefer. "Devaluation alone would only be a temporary measure," said Bank of America President Rudi Peterson. The British are well aware that devaluation alone is not enough. Chancellor Callaghan indicated that the government would couple it with enough muscle at home to ensure a turnabout into the black in the balance of payments of "$1.2 billion a year." The giant Trades Union Congress...
...repertory only one (a restaging by Director Brian Macdonald of The Firebird) ranks as a classic standby. The other 17 range from abstract studies in pure motion to dance translations of contemporary headlines. In Stuart Hodes' Abyss, a pair of fragile lovers are attacked by three hoodlums; Rudi van Dantzig's Monument for a Dead Boy poignantly traces an adolescent's struggles against parental misunderstanding at home and the temptations of life outside, with an ambiguous outcome suggesting either death or maturity; in Sebastian, John Butler's sinuous, sensuous dance patterns turn a 17th century tale...

He and Dame Margot have occasionally danced with others in the past as schedules demanded. As Covent Gar den sped forward with reassurances that Rudi, 29, and Merle "are not a permanent partnership," Ballerina Park remarked unflappably that "Rudolf is marvelous," but that she has performed with British dancers...
...danced off into the night-and now it was the San Francisco police department's turn to be surprised. At 3 a.m. cops answered a call to turn off a noisy hippie party at a pad in Haight-Ashbury, chased the gang up to the rooftops, and beheld Rudi lying prone among the hippies on one roof, Dame Margot tucked away on an adjoining rooftop. That sort of ended the party, except for a trip to the station house, where Rudi screamed "You are all children!" as the photographers came swarming around-then back to work the next night...
