...sensuous scores by Scriabin, Poème was created for Fonteyn by Cranko, an admirer of hers since their days together at Britain's Royal Ballet. There is something basically appealing about a tribute from one artist to another, and the principal role would seem to be tailor-made for the mature genius of Dame Margot, now 52. She plays a turn-of-the-century operatic diva who meets and dazzles a younger man (Egon Madsen) at a cocktail party. Then, in a swirling dream sequence, she recalls the four great loves of her past.

...while they fight the Soviet system, they also identify with it in various ways. Thus, when a Moscow tailor who settled in Tel Aviv experienced his first slack season, he demanded, "Why doesn't the government provide me with clients? In Moscow, the government sees to it that everyone gets his share." A Russian woman shopping with her Israeli brother in a Jerusalem department store was indignant when he exchanged greetings with another shopper, who turned out to be Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir.
