...following brain surgery after a crash while he was practicing for the Austrian Grand Prix; in Graz, Austria. Son of a New Jersey attorney, Donohue studied mechanical engineering at Brown University but began racing professionally in 1966, and quickly built a reputation as a cool, pleasant, almost error-free technician. After winning several major events-including the Indianapolis 500 in 1972-and more than $1 million in purses, he quit driving briefly in 1974, then slipped into the slim cockpit of a Formula One car this year in pursuit of the one trophy that still eluded him: a major Grand...

Most dancers, even the great ones, make obvious preliminaries to leaps. He simply floats into confounding feats of acrobatics and then comes to still, collected repose. He forces the eye into a double take: did that man actually do that just now? Dance Critic Walter Terry says that "Baryshnikov is probably the most dazzling virtuoso we have seen.
