...madly daring when it was first shown in Moscow seven years ago. In fact, it is full of dated psychological posturings. Moreover, despite strong dancing by blond young (24) Aleksander Godunov, one of Plisetskaya's favorite partners, and Sergei Radchenko, the roles of Don José and the toreador remain lifeless...
...impeached by the House, Nixon said he would "accept the verdict in good grace." But he promised a vigorous defense during the Senate trial that would follow. He explained: "I would do it for the reasons that are not-what do you call it-those of the toreador in the ring trying to prove himself; but I would do it because I have given long thought to what is best for the country, our system of Government and the constitutional process."

...bulletin board in two neat rows, like so many Miss Rheingold winners on a barroom wall. The most frenetic activity takes place in the Livestock Pavilion, where coveralled owners lavish on their animals care that would do credit to Elizabeth Arden. In one stall a West Texas matron in toreador pants, see-through blouse and perhaps the last bouffant hairdo in Western civilization teased the tip of her Hereford's tail with a hot comb. Her loving efforts were of little avail, however; most of the significant Hereford trophies went to Winrock Farms, owned by a former Governor...
