I Deliberately Made An Effort

The New York City Ballet Is Obviously Speaking To A Whole New Generation And Bringing It The Same Wonder And Beauty That It Brought Previous Generations

I've Always Felt That No One Understands Why Some Books Of Non-fiction Endure And Some Don't, Because There's Not Much Understanding Among Many Non-fiction Writers That The Narrative Is Terribly Important.

I Deliberately Made An Effort Not To Become An Expert On The Ballet.

There Used To Be This Feeling Under Eisenhower And Kennedy And Roosevelt And Truman That Government Was A Solution. Trust In The Presidency Fell Precipitously Under Johnson - Real Lows. And It's Never Come Back. It's A Trend That, If You're Liberal, Is Really Discouraging.

Ballet Is Sort Of A Mystery To Me. And I Don't Want To Unravel That Mystery.
