...city he has tried to govern for six years would haunt him. "If he can't run New York City," his opponents will repeat almost in chorus, "how does he expect to run the country?"

In the six-week retrial just ended, the gut issue was the claim of unconsciousness, despite new testimony for the prosecution that as Newton was being driven to the hospital for treatment, he waved a pistol and boasted of "shooting two dudes."

In the early variations, which have about them an air of soft, bucolic wonderment, the dancers appear in pastel-shaded practice clothes. In the final scenes, which call upon the full resources of the huge cast (49 in all), they are resplendent in Baroque dress...
