...today he also has a bit of Mr. B. in his,bonnet. Aureole is a freshly pressed version of a washed-out, frilly "white ballet," in which his dancers interweave flurries of mincing steps with great swooping glides without a seam showing. In Orbs, a kind of astronaughty tour of life and love on the planets, he injects moments of broad, bawdy humor, into a probing of the epic theme of God, man and nature. Cosmic it may be, but he gets through...
...always, money. Despite growing national interest, most of the 40 or 50 professional companies in the U.S. are direly pressed to meet their weekly expenses of $10,000 to $100,000. Production costs are prohibitive; the American Ballet Theater, which carries 58 dancers, plus 38 musicians and technicians on tour, plays to packed houses but still loses $10,000 every week it sets its feet on stage.

First to jettison traditional images altogether, as MacAgy shows, was the Russian suprematist Kasimir Malevich, with his revolutionary 1913 drawings of two squares and a circle...
When Henry Ford II recently took his company's new president, ex-General Motorsman Semon ("Bunkie") Knudsen, on an inspection tour of European operations, the worst was saved for last. Landing at Cologne, Ford and Knudsen needed only to look out the window of their private plane to see lots filled with Ford-made cars-part of the 45,000 that presently account for 56% of all West Germany's unsold autos. Ford sales for last January were off 35% and production schedules have been cut by one-third. Finally, arriving at the company's Cologne headquarters...
