...Zbigniew Brzezinski emphasized the same point in his article. Deploring a growing American xenophobia and introversion in the face of a world that no longer seems interested in emulating the U.S. system, Brzezinski notes that the nation's chief role has long been "to stimulate change." Yet "an inward-oriented America would gradually cease to perform that role." That would be unfortunate, says Brzezinski, since "America still provides to most people in the world the most attractive social condition (even if not the model), and that remains America's special strength...
This is a monodrama artfully pieced together from the 19th century poet's poems, letters and reclusive life. Dickinson's was an inward journey, an intrepid exploration of the heart, the mind and the soul. The only tracks she left were her finest poems...
...most disappointing performance. Caught between love and ambition, Leicester serves both queens, only to betray each in turn; petty and cowardly though he is, his waverings also make him a tragic figure. Unfortunately, Hornblower chooses to portray the earl as a supercilious and excessively obvious double-dealer whose inward writhings cause him more annoyance than pain. Hand on hips, he delights in running his tongue over his lips in a gesture that reduces him to the level of a snake. It's hard to imagine what either queen could see in such an effeminate courtier...
...brown-skinned nonvoters 6000 miles away. But that effort failed 49-1, and four years of inflation, unemployment, Watergate and otherwise uninspired leadership have made us a less generous nation. It was not the fault of the candidates if even the people of that one lonely state had turned inward and seemed to be voting solely for themselves. Whether it was the anti-busing Wallaceites who carried Boston, the pro-Israel Jacksonites who delivered Brookline, or the union mobilizers for Jackson in Fitchburg, there appeared to be an ugly, unifying theme throughout...
Taking off from tunes by Jelly Roll Morton, "Eight Jelly Rolls" (1971) buries its structure and, true to Tharp's dictum, unearths random scatter. Six female dancers tease the music's rhythm, gliding over and diving under the beat, tearing through its even sounding. At first lost in inward spirals of movement, the six cohere as a group, parody a nightclub act and, later, back Tharp's solo disheveling. Shivers running down their spines, the dancers seem to shed a second skin, as if leaving shreds of themselves behind...
