While accepting in theory that unification could come in some form someday when the mainland is democratic and prosperous, Taiwan has no intention of ever going back to being one province in a China ruled from Beijing. Taipei is not impressed with Jiang's offer of a special status like that of Hong Kong. "It will never happen," says John Chang, secretary-general of the Nationalist Party, the Kuomintang.

But all was not well that night with lawyer and client.

Even if her beleaguered company should someday close its doors and her dances cease to be performed, Graham will doubtless be remembered in much the same way, for the shadow she cast was fully as long. Did she invent modern dance? No, but she came to embody it, arrogantly and spectacularly--and, it appears, permanently. "When the legend becomes fact," said the newspaper editor in John Ford...
