...suite contains one passage of new choreography-for LaFosse, as Tony, to Something's Coming. It is a buoyant, flying solo. Darting in all directions, trying out the paths his life might take, LaFosse again shows he is an ideal Robbins dancer, whether on Broadway or in ballet. The other standout is Nancy Ticotin, who plays Anita, Chita Rivera's role in the original production. A Broadway gypsy diva, Ticotin gives an all-out, earthy performance...
Connie Chung says she was caught off-guard when she heard the news on Sunday: Dan Rather, "The CBS Evening News's former solo act," would appear Monday night without her. Chung's abrupt removal as co-anchor of the once-vaunted newscastends an uneasy two-year partnership during which viewership plunged. (She turned down a demotion to weekend anchor.)

A quiet man who habitually sports a big, black cowboy hat, Delafose taught himself to play the accordion at age 13. On his first solo album, French Rockin' Boogie, he shows his ability to take the simplest melody and then, as he puts it, "add the lacing" to turn a foursquare tune into a surging, syncopated dance. "I'm pretty traditional," he says, "but I can step it up when I want...
Harvard's only run came on junior catcher Dennis Doble's solo home run in the second inning, his first blast of the year. That run tied the game at one after Dartmouth scored in the bottom of the first. But the Big Green scored what would turn out to be the winning run in the bottom of the third...
