...exhaust itself daily by beating Arabs into submission. The Israeli Arab writer Attalah Mansour describes the Israelis' predicament with an Oriental image: ''Instead of stepping on the snake that threatened them, they swallowed it. Now they have to live with it, or die from it.'' Once when the columnist Stewart Alsop wrote that the Israelis have a ''Masada complex,'' a besieged mentality, preferring collective suicide to surrender, Prime Minister Golda Meir replied, ''It is true. We do have a Masada complex. We have a pogrom complex. We have a Hitler complex.'' Yehoshafat Harkabi, once the chief of Israeli military intelligence...
Significantly, Semel (who declined TIME's request for an interview) is getting Yahoo! to decide what it wants to be when it grows up. "There's always been some ambiguity about whether it's a tech company or a media company," says Stewart Butterfield, Yahoo!'s director of product management and co-founder of the photo site Flickr, which Yahoo! acquired in March 2005. "But there's been a shift in the internal messaging. I never hear execs refer to Yahoo! as a media company. A year and a half ago, there wasn't a satisfying articulation of what...
...During the work's three-year gestation, Stewart gradually warmed to Demers' motorized monsters and was "devastated" when two of the creatures broke down just before the Jan. 24 opening in Sydney. "It's interesting because it was a similar response to having a really good dancer suddenly having to go off with an injury," he recalls. Illuminated, stalked and interrogated by the machines, Stewart's dancers are cast in a new light, with primordial movements evoking the dawn of mankind. "Even though we've lived under civilization for millennia," Stewart says, "we are still very much driven...
...Since taking the artistic reins of ADT in 1999, Stewart's own instincts have been unerring. Then a freelance choreographer and former dancer, his name was less well-known than that of Meryl Tankard, his high-flying predecessor, who had exited from the company after creative clashes with the board. In his 1995 piece for the Melbourne Festival, Spectre in the Covert Memory, Stewart had already begun his choreographic experiments with strength and power, and at ADT he would take this further, training his young troupe in yoga, martial arts and gymnastics. While Tankard's dancers were known for sailing...
...Brought up on a property near Forbes in central western New South Wales, Stewart left school to study social work in Sydney, where he discovered ballet at the relatively late age of 19. His professional trajectory began with two years at the Australian Ballet School, but the seeds had been sown back on the family farm. "Even before I started dancing," he recalls, "I used to listen to music and imagine bodies flying through space." For how much longer at ADT, one can only surmise. Stewart was recently mentioned as a possible successor to Graeme Murphy at the Sydney Dance...
