...words recur throughout her poems- Staub, Wiiste, Adern, Mond, abgerissen, Tod- dust, desert, veins, moon, death, torn apart. Each word is used to create a similar mood, to conjure up images of the horrors which the nation of Israel has seen.

Bing was a gifted fund raiser, but not much of a collective bargainer; still his act will be tough to follow. Although criticized for his arrogance and for the woefully uneven quality of Met productions, he undeniably brought the company back from the edge of artistic bankruptcy and vanishing prestige to which it had fallen under the regime of the late Edward Johnson.

...company a style is Arpino, a close friend and longtime collaborator. Joffrey contends that a resident choreographer is essential for a company seeking definition and consistency. There is some dispute in ballet circles, though, about whether Arpino is the best man possible for that purpose. He is wildly uneven, capable of lasting triumphs like his muscular tribute to masculine athleticism, Olympics, but also given to pretentious disasters like The Poppet, an epicene parody of Arthur Miller's The Crucible...
