When Charles de Gaulle emerged from his twelve-year retirement at Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, Canard hailed him as Christopher Colombey, and celebrated his crusading zeal by calling him "Charles d'Arc." But lately Le Canard has taken to picturing De Gaulle with a crown and wearing the robes of Charlemagne or Louis XV ("Aprés le déluge, moi!"). As the Sun King himself, De Gaulle is shown crying: "Bread! Next, they'll be asking for cars and washing machines...
...Khrushchev's wife and youngest daughter watched from a box of the Stanislavsky Theater, Maria Tallchief and Erik Bruhn glided through the Black Swan pas de deux from Swan Lake. The troupe also leapt and lassoed its way through the Aaron Copland and Agnes de Mille ballet Rodeo and George Balanchine's abstract Theme and Variations, set to Tchaikovsky music.

Paired up with Melissa Hayden, the two demonstrated their renowned artistry in pas de deux from Tchaikovsky's Black Swan and Delibe's Sylvia. The pleasantest surprise was the dancing of young Edward Villella; his entrechats were breathtaking, and his consummate general control clearly places him on the verge of a noble career. Most of the dancers in the company were from the New York City Ballet. Among the other items on the program was the world premiere...
