Since its conception by Marius Petipa in 1869, Don Quixote has been revised by three Russian choreographers. Even Impresario Sol Hurok got into the act: at his request, several mime sequences were telescoped to enliven the pace.

He has never stopped living well, and indeed, next to his music, he loves traveling best. "If I were not a pianist," he says, "I would be a travel agent." He could also be a professional connoisseur...
Over the past 26 years, Francisco Franco's broadcast to his nation has become as much a part of Spanish year-end tradition as eating grapes in rhythm to the strokes of midnight in Madrid's Puerta del Sol. Last week the speech carried special interest. Many Spaniards hoped that Franco, now age 73, would indicate his answer to Spain's biggest question: After Franco, what...
