...Chardin, give us a view of a world where man is less antlike than in his own." But, Onimus responds: "What anguish in these few lines! And, in fact, perhaps what misgivings! Does Malraux seriously believe that Vermeer's alcove, Chardin's bouquet, however beautiful they are, contain within them the power of salvation? . . . His position is untenable...
Details of the new program have not yet been charted. But is is important that any final draft contain the express provision that no credit be given for courses by-passed.

Though it is sometimes called "American" ballet, it pays almost no attention to "Americana." The repertory leans heavily (about 60%) on the choreographic work of Balanchine himself. A typical program might contain his Symphony in C, set to Bizet and danced in simple costumes against a plain blue backdrop; his showy Pas de Trois (music from Minkus' Don Quixote) as a sop to oldtimers who like to watch three top soloists show off their grace and strength; his grotesque fantasy...
