...such excitement. The performances on the four-city circuit (New York, Washington, San Francisco, Los Angeles) are practically sold out. At the Metropolitan Opera House the crowds have patiently worked their way through strict security checks. Arguments among balletomanes about whether the company lives up to its legend are steamier than Manhattan sidewalks. Bolshoi means big, and this bravura ensemble virtually defines...
...walk in the Jardin des Plantes and hear the big cats roaring and coughing a few hundred yards away in their iron cages, jungle sounds floating to him through a screen of lush foliage. He "knew" what the Nile looked like, and the Niger, and the Amazon: muddier and steamier than the Seine, and lined with a frieze of swollen aspidistras. Out of this, on occasion, he could distill incantation. The Snake Charmer, 1907, condenses a huge popular imagery of the noble savage and the mysterious East.

Maybe Cintra used to visit Wayne at the Wharton School when she was down in the area visiting her grandparents, but those hardly seem like the best circumstances for a young couple to get to know one another...
...result, the regular clientele of 'Gilleyrats"-mostly oilfield roustabouts and construction workers-have been joined at the bars (all three of them) by hordes of tourists. The gawkers find the joint a lot seamier and steamier than its movie version. Says one reformed Gilleyrat of his old crowd: "If they don't get into at least one scrap, they think their weekend is wasted.' Houston, which had a dozen cactus cabarets in 1975, now has more than 300, few of which care to emulate Gilley's Dodge City style. The most successful, Fool's Gold...
