That may explain why there are virtually no pro-West candidates in the running to replace Yeltsin when a new President is elected in what everyone hopes will be the first-ever peaceful transfer of power next June. The scandals are potent political fodder not only because they discredit Yeltsin but also because they fit into a popular Russian myth that the U.S. somehow engineered the country's woes. As eager as Russians are to blame their own tainted leaders, they also point an accusatory finger at Washington for their failures...
...Davis' witty Men Without Women was exiled a few blocks north to the Museum of Modern Art in 1975, when the Music Hall was in such a state of desuetude that at some performances less than 10% of the seats in the immense auditorium were filled. Hardy had a potent ally in his effort to yank the Davis painting back from MOMA. Jerry I. Speyer, the manager and co-owner of Rockefeller Center, is vice chairman of the museum's board...

But because like wine the band has only grown sweeter and more potent with age, the oldies sounded as great as the new songs...
Current therapies--anti-inflammatories like prednisone and antivirals like acyclovir--are aimed at alleviating symptoms. But there may soon be a better option.

...greatest living dancer with five talented women, none of whom get lost in his long shadow. Raquel Aedo shares center stage with her boss in a new pas de deux by Lucy Guerin, an Australian choreographer whose work first caught Baryshnikov's eye three years ago. The combination is potent: Soft Center is a laconic, coolly sensuous duet accompanied by a raspy electronic-music collage with a snippet of Paul Hindemith's mournful Trauermusik stuck in the middle (hence the title). Guerin is a major find--and so is Aedo...
