Americans Gelsey Kirkland and Fernando Bujones trail only slightly behind. On Wednesday night, July 14, fancy footwork and aerial illusions should abound when the whole caboodle appear on one bill: Kirkland and Bujones in the 19th century Russian classic La Bayadère, and Makarova and Baryshnikov in Jerome Robbins' 20th century American classic Other Dances...

Nerves on millions of little trampolines, many falling off and breaking their necks. Tingles, rushes and fades...
...daily grind itself can be grueling: over snow-covered Rocky Mountain passes, through dusty Kansas cornfields and up testing Appalachian ascents. Yet only 5% of the 4,300 people who have hit the trail since it opened May 14 have dropped out before finishing at least one of the designated 900-mile segments.
