...that even selected chain gangs from the workers' paradise over the Wall were clanked into the corruptive world of blue films and blue jeans, then-on the final whistle of the match they witnessed-knouted off again. Frankfurt airport, with team supporters looking for planes to Dortmund, Munich, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf and Hannover, was a Brechtian fantasy of chauvinistic headgear and rosettes. Among the major nations unrepresented in the jostle there seemed to be only the Americans, who have never taken to the game, and the English, who invented it, but whose team lost out in elimination matches...

In 1961 he took over the mediocre Stuttgart Ballet. With his strong sense of theater and his ability to marry dance and plot, Cranko scored dramatic successes with such works as Romeo and Juliet, Swan Lake and Eugene Onegin. The Stuttgart, under his direction, became...
Initials R.B.M.E. is unfairly titled and pompously annotated, but a joy to watch for all that. The initials stand for the first names of the Stuttgart's four leading principals - Richard Cragun, Birgit Keil, Marcia Haydée and Egon Madsen. In all justice, the title should include an H., for Heinz Clauss, who brilliantly partners Haydée in a soaringly romantic pas de deux...
