He is and was enthralling. Sadly, you seem to learn more about this people
in death than in life. I was struck by Richard Glasstone’s favorite
dancers: Fred Astaire, Margot Fonteyn and Merce Cunningham, suspecting
that Cunningham was the least well known of the three. And I wholly agree
on the benefits of dance in contributing to longevity and passion.
