Rumor And Gossip, Like Sound Itself, Appear

The Sad Truth Is That Excellence Makes People Nervous.

Good Drama Should Sandpaper The Mind.

Ballet's Image Of Perfection Is Fashioned Amid A Milieu Of Wracked Bodies, Fevered Imaginations, Balkan Intrigue And Sulfurous Hatreds Where Anything Is Likely, And Dancers Know It.

As A General Rule, Fans And Idols Should Always Be Kept At Arm's Length, The Length Of The Arm To Be Proportionate To The Degree Of Sheer Idolatry Involved. Don't Take A Beatle To Lunch. Don't Wait Up To See If The Easter Bunny Is Real. Just Enjoy The Egg Hunt.

This Is What Holidays, Travels, Vacations Are About. It Is Not Really Rest Or Even Leisure We Chase. We Strain To Renew Our Capacity For Wonder To Shock Ourselves Into Astonishment Once Again.
