...it.The piece d’occasion fared much better. Set to Chopin, “Rhyme”—a world premiere choreographed by Viktor Plotnikov—began with slow, silent movement, with the dancers captured in spotlights like snapshots. This set the stage for a moving and harmonious pas de deux with shockingly acrobatic movements accomplished with the greatest degree of finesse and taste. The highlight was certainly Larissa Ponomarenko’s highly arched instep beating the ground in a frenzied tick as she extended her leg on the floor with extreme hyperextension, a feat...
There's still time to change again, for doubts to resurface, for suspicions to harden. And voters may say one thing to pollsters and do another in the voting booth. Yet at this late stage of the campaign, after dozens of interviews across this toss-up state, evidence suggests that the issue that once seemed as if it would dominate this election - Obama's race - is not consuming the people who will actually decide...
...circle back to fear. At a panel discussion on Friday on the seventh floor of the New York Stock Exchange, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was asked how much more credit crisis is left to play out.

At the Connecticut offices of UBS, nervous colleagues passed around a joke about why the market was like a divorce but worse: "I've lost half my net worth, and I still have my wife." Off-color humor for off-color times...

Over the last eight years, American aid flows have done little more than keep pace with inflation despite promises otherwise. Second, collaboration at this time will set the stage for the systemic changes needed to reform the global economic order so that today’s crises—including credit crises—can be avoided in the future. Right now, brewing in the legislatures of the developed world is the same breed of unilateralism and stubbornness that...
...real Ernie Davis. More importantly, given the wealth of football action scenes, he’s a fluid runner and convincing halfback. The on-field action becomes increasingly well-choreographed and edited as the film progresses, as if Fleder himself was in the process of learning how to stage and film a football play. The early sequences of Davis on-field are cut at a furious and ultimately disorienting pace, with the camera so close to the action as to obscure individuals. Thankfully, Fleder slows down a bit and zooms out during the climactic on-field sequences later...
