...Harvard Business Club Treasurer Richard A. Leigh-Pemberton '95 said both organizations are simi- lar in purpose, and he is worried that theEnterprise Society might "unfairly take away ourmembers with our membership list...
Moving to New York City in 1976, he whirled through a quick succession of jobs with such big-name choreographers as Eliot Feld, Lar Lubovitch, Laura Dean and Hannah Kahn. "I didn't have a giant attention span," he says, explaining why he was so peripatetic. But that was only part of the reason. "Modern dancers are not trained to do anything but follow directions," says Erin Matthiessen, his former lover; Morris met him when they both danced in the Dean company. "Mark thought for himself." Too often, he thought aloud, arguing with the choreographers, making unwanted suggestions...
...advocate is Father Andrew M. Greeley's favorite avocation. His novels continually irritate the church he serves, by revealing Vatican politics and presenting flawed priests. The narrator of An Occasion of Sin (Putnam; 352 pages; $19.95) puts forth the most imperfect of them all.

Nevertheless, if the fall outings are successful, the group will tour in the spring of 1991, perhaps including Europe...
...quick to point out that, as a Dane, he brings a European view to his work. "To me America is the most eclectic country in the world," he says. He carried his quest for variety into his choice of outside choreographers: two of them -- Paul Taylor and Lar Lubovitch -- are modernists who shun pointe work. Although she has choreographed some ballet, Laura Dean is a modernist -- or post-modernist. Martins' decision is controversial; N.Y.C.B. dancers can dance decently barefoot, but why not display them in what they do best? There are some much noted omissions from the roster, including such...
