...Dartmouth's fault. If a cross-country skier, a fencer-folk-dancer, and a pole-vaulter hadn't decided to give modern dance a whirl in a class there in 1970, chances are no one else would ever have come up with what the book's photographer Tim Matson calls "a blend of dance, gymnastics, mime, circus and sculpture." Since then, the original group has evolved into a brash, astonishing, stubbornly unclassifiable performance company of three men and two women, with a home base in Connecticut and a touring schedule which skims them halfway around the globe...
...avid skier, he takes a week off each year to schuss in the Tatras, dressed in baggy wool pants and old-style lace-up boots. His only concession to luxury is a pair of Head skis. Another friend, who calls him "one of the daredevil skiers in the Tatras,"adds, "He loves the thrill of it, the danger." Once, during a midwinter interview with TIME'S Bonn bureau chief, William Mader, Wojtyla gazed out the window of his residence and said, "I wish I could be out there now somewhere in the mountains, racing down into a valley...

She dropped out for a year to attend a photography workshop in Aspen, where she developed into a competent skier; she also plays a mean game of tennis and squash...
...Lesley College. And while she is there, she says, "I'm going out and have a good time, and Ted knows about it." As for Ted, he does not stay at home either. In February, for example, he spent a few days skiing in Aspen with former Olympic Skier Suzy Chaffee. But speculation about a love affair, said Chaffee, 31, before giving a gymnastics performance last week at a Manhattan charity benefit, is nonsense. Suzy says she "has a man in her life and his initials are not T.K." Anyway, she asked, "If Rockefeller were skiing with Kennedy, would...
