...Ellen Zane, who heads Partners Community Healthcare, Inc., the network arm, aims to increase that number to 850 in about five years -- though she faces intense competition from two other networks that are also signing up doctors at a frenzied pace. At times the competition gets bizarre: the 20-physician Concord Hillside Medical Associates in a Boston suburb was bought out by the Lahey Hitchcock network earlier this month. But Emerson Hospital in Concord, where the Hillside group sends many of its patients, is simultaneously negotiating to join the rival Partners network. "The situation is filled with fault lines...
...Wall Street was not convinced. In addition to downgrading Orange County bonds to junk status last week, Moody's Investors Service called the county's behavior "outrageous and unprecedented." Says Zane Mann, publisher of the California Municipal Bond Advisor: "People are saying, 'Screw them. I'll never buy another Orange County bond as long as I live.'" This anger has larger financial implications. An Orange County default could push up the interest rate on all munis, so that taxpayers everywhere would be forced to pay more to build a school or a road...
Jones' love of dance began with what he calls "the mysteries of Martha Graham." In 1971 he met dancer Arnie Zane, and together they founded what might be called the modern school of exuberance and explosion. Zane died of aids in 1988.

DANCE The most versatile and inventive of America's black dancer- choreographe rs is Bill T. Jones, 42, the son of impoverished farm workers from upstate New York. In 1988 his longtime lover and collaborator, Arnie Zane, died of AIDS. Jones himself was diagnosed as HIV-positive in 1985; today he works with the intensity of someone who knows his time is running out. He creates as many as five new pieces a year for his own New York City-based Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane dance company, as well as for such classical troupes as the Berlin Opera Ballet...
...Zane's memory and death's inevitability are hovering presences in much of Jones' recent work. In a long solo piece called Last Night on Earth, Jones uses elements as varied as sign language and jittery body bends from break dancing to evoke the moods of a loving relationship. The piece ends with Jones, dressed in an apron-length white skirt, sitting, kneeling and finally lying on a shroudlike white cloth as he hoarsely and painfully intones the words of the old spiritual Nora's Dove...
