...Fritz Sänger, one of West Germany's ablest newsmen, was not fighting for reinstatement. In fact, he had already written his own professional epitaph. No sooner did he get the news of his dismissal from the directors than he walked to a nearby telephone booth, called D.P.-A.'s Hamburg office, and laconically dictated his bulletin: "Sänger leaves...
...Bolshoi's Swan Lake was strikingly different from the two versions-by the New York City Ballet and Britain's Royal Ballet-most frequently seen in the West. While the City Ballet version telescopes the action into a single act and provides brilliant virtuoso movements for the entire ballet corps, the Bolshoi keeps the original four acts and focuses on the soloists, with the corps often planted in mere statuesque rows and curves.

One obvious but unlikely solution is for foreign countries to raise wages faster, share more of the benefits of rising productivity with their workers, as the U.S. does...
