...wrote about Madison and Monroe, and Woodrow Wilson, perhaps too scholarly for his own peace of mind, wrote about Washington before his own arrival at the White House. But taken altogether, presidential literary output about members of the club could be stowed between the covers of a single stout volume. One reason is that few Presidents have been up to it or have had the time for it. Another, possibly more important, is a guild sympathy-a reluctance to trespass on another man's ordeal.

...Bolshoi and Tchaikovsky theaters are only a stout walk from each other in Moscow, but at first glance their respective products seem to be versts apart. The Bolshoi's stage glitters with the familiar, stylized formulations of the classic ballet; the Tchaikovsky's shivers to the explosive hop-stomp-and-run of the folk dance.
