...claims a brochure on dance here, and while this may be true, things look, pretty bleak for the polished prima ballerina. Offerings in dance are eclectic (Russian conditioning, mime, kabuki) and the selection is very limited. But many women (and a steadily increasing number of men) turn out to unwind twice a week in the afternoon beginning and intermediate modern dance classes in the Radcliffe Gym. Last year, the over-crowded, understaffed, ill-equipped gym was the scene of too many chaotic sessions; and so to facilitate teaching and ensure some private attention, the dance students will be charged...
...price explosion is open to question, especially given the notorious volatility of commodity prices. Says Amstar President Robert T. Quittmeyer: "We'll know better in the next few months."

Said Simon: "The Shah is a nut." He later explained that he meant...
...Cavalry in the winter of 1890. It was overrun one night last week by roughly 200 armed members of the American Indian Movement (AIM), a militant group best known for its week-long occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington last November. Thus a drama began to unwind at Wounded Knee, deep in an area where there is open tension between mostly impoverished Indians and whites...
