...were the leading dancers in this magnificent piece that combined amazing technical achievements with a tranquillizing, Swirling scene. The dance is plotless and merely alternates different couples dancing in pairs and in groups on stage in front of a new-green act. The dancers were all costumed in gauzy, chiffon material that increased the hazy, beautiful effect Kirkland and Mckenzie performed brilliantly. They seemed to be perfectly suited to each other and never seemed to exert any effects while turning or jumping. When Mckenzie would lift kirkland her body just seemed to rise in his hands naturally. She appeared fragile...
...Rain, considered a blessing by the Greeks, had descended like a gray benediction across the island of Skorpids. In the tiny chapel, Jacqueline Kennedy stood quietly-almost in a daze-in her beige chiffon-and-lace dress, Aristotle Onassis in his dark blue business suit. John and Caroline, each carrying a single tall white candle, flanked them. As Archimandrite Polykarpos Athanassion intoned the solemn Greek of the nuptial liturgy, Jackie and Ari exchanged rings and wreaths of lemon blossoms, and drank wine from a single chalice. Then the priest led them round a table three times in the ritual dance...
...official dinner in Golden Gate Park, goose-liver quenelles in pheasant broth were followed by the San Francisco Opera and Symphony performing a bit of Leonard Bernstein's Candide.

Against a pointillist backdrop of thousands of shirts and faces, Jagger skip-sprints across the huge stage, towels off his crotch with his jacket, executes arabesques and aerobics, drapes himself in chiffon or Stars and Stripes or next to nothing. He sings too, though in the atrociously mixed 24-track audio, Jagger sounds as if he were shouting through a ski mask. The rest of the band sounds tired. But the Stones' geriatric groupies and their children, who made this tour...
...second is that in the post-op of reruns, the members of the 4077 will continue indefinitely to act bonkers, save lives and refresh viewers' spirits. Radar will lose and find his Teddy bear and, maybe, lose his virginity. Klinger will show up in that cunning little chiffon number he bought in Seoul. Frank will fritter and whine and cluck like a chicken. B.J. will keep trying to prove he is not the most decent soul south of the 38th parallel. Winchester will open another picnic basket from Mater and savor caviar on a tongue depressor. Father Mulcahy will...
