...prince, one hand tucked jauntily in a pocket, paced David down the 898 steps. At the Lincoln Memorial, Charles stopped to talk to an English couple in a crowd, asked puckishly: "Do the Americans treat you well?" He was fascinated at the Smithsonian Institution by Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, and mused, like thousands of nonroyal tourists before him: "That's strange -he just had that tiny window...
...variety shows, including Merve Griffin for the 34th time last week, and has played Caesars Palace in Vegas with Frank Sinatra. She has a big three-octave range and reaches high C with ease in Johnny One Note. Like Karen, Julie belongs chronologically to the Woodstock Nation, but her spirit lies in Tin Pan Alley. Their repertory is mostly golden oldies, and so is their following. "Adults dig me better than kids," says Julie, though she adds: "My parents are not ready for me."

Switkes has seemingly lost his case. Last week, after a federal district court in New York City refused his appeal to continue stay of orders, he found himself...
Folk dance, by definition, is an art of the people. One of the curious achievements of Russia's Moiseyev dance company, which opened its first U.S. tour in five years at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House this month, is to make folk dance seem almost aristocratic in spirit. What country commoners could ever attempt, let alone master, those split-second polka whirls and partner changes, those muscle-straining priziadkas done at trip-hammer speed, those leaping, Olympic-height splits?
