...better than anyone else, in an idiom that seems delightfully impromptu and improper. The loose-jointed, off-balance look is unmistakable, whether a gleeful Sara Rudner is jigging through Eight Jelly Rolls or a bemused Mikhail Baryshnikov is buckling under the weight of his hat in Push Comes to Shove. A lot of the action takes place right at wingside: people venture onstage and quickly think better of it, or they try two or three different entrances, or they are flung on and hurled off by their fellows...

What is there about these creatures that makes so many people wait in line for hours for a chance to push and shove and generally go bonkers? Two disc jockeys in Milwaukee wisecracked that a load of the dolls would be dropped from a B-29 bomber to people who held up catcher's mitts and American Express cards; two dozen believers actually turned up at County Stadium, braving a wind-chill factor of - 2° F, in the vain hope of manna...

...when push came to shove, the Crimson blew away its opponent, as Dartmouth fell flat and ran out of gas. Junior forward Joe Carrabino--who tallied a game high 24 points--and junior guard Bob Ferry--with 18 points, on the evening--led the dramatic surge as they hit from the key and the foul line, collecting ten points between them in a three-minute span late in the game...
