...their new album, the Chieftains called in a few: Mick Jagger, Sting, Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor, Tom Jones, Mark Knopfler, Marianne Faithfull. The result is The Long Black Veil, which after only five weeks in release has become the band's first gold record (500,000 copies). Moloney, 56, may not have smelled gold, or cared if he did.

For the past 22 years at the New Yorker, she has written stringent criticisms that though models of logic and clarity, can also sting. A devotae of George Balanchine, whose biography she is writing, she has unmercifully chastised Peter Martins, his successor as artistic director of the New York City Ballet, when she felt he was flouting the master's style. Her judgments have resonated through the ballet world...
