...celebration and hope, pushed into the square outside Parliament and cheered as Britain's Union Flag was lowered, and the green, gold and red colors of the new nation of Ghana were hoisted in a light breeze.

In one of Ratmansky's most celebrated moves, for example, in 2003 he restaged Bright Stream, the full-length ballet by radical Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, which Stalin banned shortly after it premiered in Moscow in 1936.

...tell him that a woman was standing on the nearby train tracks. Miyamoto jogged over to the tracks and escorted the woman back to his police box, as she pulled against him and screamed that she wanted to die. When they made it back to the koban, the woman broke free and ran toward the rail crossing. With a train less than a quarter-mile away, Miyamoto leapt onto the tracks and tried to pull the suicidal woman into an emergency safety area beneath the platform. She wouldn't move. Miyamoto waved at the incoming train repeatedly...
