The True ‘In-Group’ Ballet Dancer Has A Cutting From Balanchine’s Rubber Plant

“In life, he was a messianic figure to many of his dancers. Correspondingly, after his death in 1983, a quasi-religious reverence cropped up around items he had owned, which was enough to transform cuttings of a certain rubber plant into living relics.”

With Investment And Buildings, Is Manchester About To (Re-)Become A Huge Arts Hub?

British Newsy Comedian John Oliver Was Not A Dud In His First Season, But Why Not?

“Oliver is a 37-year-old comedian hardly in the mold of a television star. His teeth are, well, British, and his hair is not something frequently seen on the small screen. And even though he wears nice suits on the show, they look as if they landed on him from a great distance.”

A Nazi War Criminal And His Prosecutor, And Their Shared Love For Bach
