...company along, Arthur Mitchell was forced to turn choreographer; almost by accident he has thus established himself as the most promising dance creator to emerge from the Balanchine ranks in recent years. Fete Noire, based on a Shostakovitch score, is a neoclassic Russian romp set in some imaginary imperial salon. At once crisp and buoyant, it demonstrates how well Mitchell has grasped the real secret of Balanchine's genius-the mastery of the logic and geometry of bodies in motion. By contrast, Mitchell's Rhythmetron is a throbbing, stylized Afro-Latin tribal ritual set to a score...
...exclaiming, "Cezanne... Picasso's Blue Period... Matisse!" And Michael and Sarah are lost somewhere in their house that Le Corbusier built at Garches.

...squires his girl friend around the discotheque circuit in his "Clydemobile," a white-and-canary Cadillac Eldorado that is a far cry from the Ford Pinto he pushes in TV commercials. His Knick salary plus endorsements, speaking engagements, interests in an athletes' managing firm and a hair-styling salon will earn him more than $100,000 this year. He needs it to support his weakness for maxicoats. Among his favorites: a pair of leather numbers with mink collars ($450 each), a black elephant skin ($950) and a sealskin...
