...theoretician of West Germany's notorious Baader-Meinhof gang of far-left terrorists, she and her henchmen blasted a gory path of bombings, bank robberies and shootouts that continued even after her capture in 1972. Last week Meinhof used desperation's last resort against herself. Guards at Stuttgart's Stammheim prison, where she, along with three fellow terrorists, had been confined for a year, found Meinhof hanging from her cell window, a makeshift rope of toweling around her neck...

...John Neumeier's Hamlet Connotations. Hamlet was played by Mikhail Baryshnikov, who with every performance is proving himself not only a wonderful classical dancer but also a superb actor. Ophelia was his frequent partner, the elfin Gelsey Kirkland. Gertrude was danced by Marcia Haydee, prima ballerina of the Stuttgart Ballet, who is appearing for the first time with A.B.T. this season. Denmark's Erik Bruhn, in his prime a great danseur noble, was Claudius...

...time with tales of unrest and unhappiness at American Ballet Theater, the nation's premier dance company. American members of A.B.T. felt upstaged and upset by the arrival of Soviet Defectors Natalia Makarova (in 1970) and Mikhail Baryshnikov (in 1974). This fall A.B.T. recruited three more foreign superstars: Stuttgart Ballet's Marcia Haydée and two Italian artists, Carla Fracci and Paolo Bortoluzzi. Thus nobody quite believed it last week when, on the eve of the opening of the company's six-week Manhattan season, A.B.T.'s American star Cynthia Gregory abruptly announced her retirement...

...sers in grandiose one-handed lifts, only to plummet a moment later in balletic kamikaze dives. This is not orthodox story ballet. But the choreography is fluent, strong, and from the beginning moves with the propulsion of a Metroliner. Tetley's Daphnis and Chloë should be a Stuttgart staple...
