...admits being aware of the use of the CIA to halt the FBI inquiry, but makes it seem all his subordinates' doing, with the president as a bunker-isolated entity to be told of the progress of campaigns off somewhere on distant Eastern Fronts. This may have been true, though the tapes dispute it. No rationale for such a complete alienation of the Compleat Politician from his own campaign is given, nor is it admitted. Of the 18-1/2 minute gap, Nixon can only limply state, "I do not know"; "I did not do it." As the tapes come...
...terrorists are actually trying to kill me, and yet I am unable to get angry or even upset about it. The rockets are exploding around me, and yet it is somehow still so impersonal that it is almost impossible to deal with.

Not very often...
...Baryshnikov will learn priceless things at City Ballet, it is also true that he has a great deal beyond star power to offer in return. Edward Villella is almost retired now, and there has been no true replacement for either his dramatic, robust presence in Prodigal Son and Harlequinade or for the wit he brought to essentially abstract works like Rubies. Baryshnikov may well be just the man for these ballets and several others−Symphony in Three Movements, Stars and Stripes. The true suspense lies in what Mr. B will create...
