...could be dished up by Chinese, Turks, Russians or what have you." To the granny London Times it was apparent that "what Diaghilev did for a past generation of balletgoers, Robbins is doing now.

And the Guardian's James Monaghan, after rapping the Royal Ballet for its "ivory-towered conception of the dance," concluded that what Robbins had brought to town was "the best foreign ballet by far that London has ever seen...
...Monaghan to Hopkins. Admiral Holloway was born in Fort Smith, Ark. in June 1898, the famous year in which the Maine blew up in Havana harbor, Commodore Dewey gave the order in Manila Bay-"You may fire when you are ready, Gridley," and the Navy moved into its new role of world responsibility.

He pursues his ghosts with gusto that may well alarm the shyer shades, as well as some readers. To those who are under the impression...
...cause of cancer research was more important than a dispute between columnists." Columnist Lyons, who was once a practicing lawyer, was, however, fascinated by the suggestion that Winchell would be acquitted if he pushed Lyons under the wheels of a truck. Said Lyons in a "personal" to Commissioner Monaghan last week: "This ... is public notice to you to pick up his permits and the pistol he carries or else the City of New York shall be held accountable for any consequences."
