...lets her work without restraint. Such freedom is always the result either of the film maker's rapture or loathing, but in this case it is impossible to tell which. Berlin goes through awkward, putatively comic body move ments, as if trying to cry on her own shoulder...
...auditorium, the Panovs performed on a small, bare platform. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra played on a raised stage behind them, causing Conductor Robert Zeller to cast uneasy glances across his shoulder to check music-dance synchronization. Temporarily blinded by a megawatt supertrooper rock-show spotlight, Galina lost sight of her husband and missed a lift during the grand pas de deux from The Nutcracker. " 'Where are you, Valery?' I cried to myself," she said later. However, in The Lady and the Hooligan, a Shostakovich ballet, Galina's feathery pirouettes and Panov's dramatic aerial twists...
With his wife of 52 years, Lee tramps along the West's interstate highways, picking up aluminum beer and soft-drink cans. "Ain't people nasty the way they throw junk all over the roadside?" said Lee last week, taking a break along the shoulder of Highway 15 in the middle of the Mojave Desert.

...probably the raunchiest-looking fighting force in the world. In startling contrast to the red-jacketed guardsmen who stand stiffly at attention outside Buckingham Palace, the honor guards in front of the royal palace on the Dam Square in Amsterdam usually have unkempt uniforms, straggly beards and lank shoulder-length hair. In fact, they look more like refugees from a rock group than members of a NATO contingent that might some day have to face the Red Army in combat. Yet, in one sense, the army of The Netherlands is the most modern in the world: it is fully unionized...
