...junta's "chilling cynicism." The Vatican was no less outspoken, rejecting the report as incomprehensible and full of "agonizing questions." At his weekly audience, Pope John Paul II declared that "the insistent problem of the disappeared ones has always been, and now is more than ever, in my soul...
...Chemistry of Love is often laughable in both its language and its ideas. Liebowitz writes badly and thinks sloppily. His work is filled with meaningless sentences such as "Along comes a somewhat attractive and friendly soul and whammo, our brains are hit with megadoses of 'attachment juice." His logic is no better. "Biologically," he writes, "it appears that we have evolved two distinct chemical systems for romance; one basically serves to bring people together and the other to keep them together."

But there was never any doubt about George Balanchine's greatest love. "I am a dancer," he once said, "body, soul and brain." When he died last week at 79, Balanchine was more than that; he was possibly the greatest choreographer of the century. He brilliantly synthesized ballet's elegant classical heritage with the explosive athletic energy of modern dance and the show-biz turns of jazz and tap.
