...Chernenko's thoughts have ever differed from Brezhnev's on any issue, he has kept quiet about it; one Western diplomat in Moscow refers to him as Brezhnev's "paper shuffler." Nonetheless, Chernenko now ranks fourth in the party hierarchy, after Brezhnev, Ideologist Mikhail Suslov, 76, and Central Committee Secretary Andrei Kirilenko, 72. Chernenko now must be considered as a possible successor to his patron, or at least as a behind-the-curtain bossmaker in a post-Brezhnev...
...they seem to compete with their human subjects rather than record them. Yet photography in the right hands can bring something to dance as well, and Migdoll is at his best when he gives the eye permanent images that would otherwise have disappeared in a blur. Two photographs of Mikhail Baryshnikov, all intense concentration and soaring energy, are themselves classics and more than worth the reasonable price of this book...
...Bears do, indeed, forgo the mincing ankle exercise this night. But a visitor also notices that the rest of their pre-game ritual would be more familiar to Mikhail Baryshnikov than Don Meredith Pairing off to use one another's backs as ballet bars, they stretched and flexed their legs, loosening hamstring and groin muscles that are always vulnerable to injury.

Indeed, Mikhail Troyanov, a well-respected and tough-minded physicist who serves as deputy director of the Obninsk laboratory, predicts that after 1990 breeders will be the backbone of the Soviet energy system. Says he: "I don't see any difficulties in going to plutonium...
...windows of a rehearsal room at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, rows of little female heads glisten in the sun, their chins just making it up to the sill. They are lucky children, for they are watching New York City Ballet Choreographer George Balanchine rehearse his newest principal dancer, Mikhail Baryshnikov. The session is long and hard, and it is going very well. Baryshnikov leaps into the whimsical salutes of Stars and Stripes. He and the choreographer pause to discuss some points, speaking in Russian-a common language for both. Later, Baryshnikov, 30, whips through a fast, intricate sequence from...
