More important than his choreography is the effect of Nureyev's presence among the well-schooled but less experienced dancers of the young troupe (founded in 1951). Their performance is neat and crisp until Nureyev steps onstage. The intensity mounts, and the dancing, which had previously been clean-cut, becomes dazzling...
JOHN WESLEY DEAN III, 34, Counsel to the President and the man who conducted the investigation of the Watergate case that cleared all White House staffers. A lawyer who has hardly practiced privately, clean-cut Dean worked as minority counsel to the House Judiciary Committee.

Abel is an all-American, clean-cut, prep-school said, while his older brother, physically more elongated and with a correspondingly more attenuated sensibility, represents the introspective adolescent. Like Eve, who persists in pestering God about why they can't eat the apples. Cain asks too many questions. Miller's creation of an intelligent Cain helps explain his fate: in Biblical morality, those who seek to rival God by attaining knowledge become the sinners...
