Showing Contempt. The Rhodesians were predictably unimpressed. Wilson, who long ago forswore the use of force against them, did not even bother to propose more economic sanctions. Those already used by Britain and the United Nations have proved ineffective in either throttling Rhodesia's economy or getting Rhodesia's whites to move gradually to black rule. By increasingly copying South Africa's tough apartheid methods, Smith's ruling Rhodesian Front stifles most political opposition and restricts most Africans to their tribal reserves and townships. Last week's defiance of Britain will certainly embolden the right...
...MERGE CUNNINGHAM, 46, Dropped-Out from the Graham company 21 years ago because of her "psychological drift." He didn't want a mother figure, he wanted Dada instead. Ever since, he has been one jump beyond the avantgarde. He was among the first American choreographers to use musique concrète, the first to leave the structure of a ballet to chance. He rehearses in silence so that his dancers will not be influenced by the music. Themes? "Supply your own," he says. Yet for all his seeming whimsy, Cunningham is a dancer and choreographer with serious intentions...
Sissy Stigma. Nijinsky, though, might have had a good chance. While the U.S. is developing more female dancers than it can productively use, there is still a dearth of male talent. Unlike Denmark, where women curtsy in the street when a ranking male dancer passes by, or Russia, where Bolshoi stars are accorded the same respect given to cosmonauts, the stigma of sissy still lingers in the U.S. Many dance schools offer free scholarships to any boy who will don tights; others patrol athletic clubs to recruit prospects. But the climate is changing: the ratio of girls to boys taking...
...Jean-Claude of selling an exclusive picture story about himself to the weekly magazine Paris Match for $7,000 "after he imprudently offered it before numerous witnesses to the highest bidder." The Communist daily paper L'Humanité followed with another charge: that Killy last year agreed to use a brand of Italian ski poles exclusively in exchange for an unknown sum of money-and that Crespin later paid the manufacturer $6,000 to keep mum about it. Still other stories circulated that Killy makes up to $75,000 a year out of skiing. Although Killy hotly denied...
...crime rate in downtown Miami reached critical proportions last December. Robberies had almost doubled since the previous December. Police Chief Walter Headley was "fed up." The day after Christmas, he simply "called in all my commanding officers and told them to change some things. I said we should use dogs to accompany men on the beat. And I said I wanted the force in high-crime areas to carry shotguns. And I said I wanted to concentrate men in these high-crime areas, and that I wanted them to use the stop-and-frisk law more." Word of his crackdown...
