Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.

  • 93 the Cleopatra Ballerina Who Stays
    SUNDAY TELEGRAPH March 21 1993 The Cleopatra ballerina who stays out in the cold Photo: Matthew Ford In a rare interview the great ballerina Lynn Seymour tells Ismene Brown why she's so wary of public attention A LOT of typewriter ribbon has frayed on the subject of Lynn Seymour. She is 'the greatest dramatic dancer of the era', according to Dame Ninette de Valois. Yet when she joined English National Ballet in 1989, one dancer told a newspaper contemptuously, 'She teaches with a beer can in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Who needs that?' Her image has see-sawed wildly between genius and Bad Girl. Both sides of the image are fed with plenty of material: consistently awestruck reviews of her dancing - and a considerable amount of backstage bitchery about her weight problems. Or drink problems. Or temper problems. Or man problems. Or money problems. These in turn were said to explain her absences from the stage. Where Fonteyn and Sibley sailed through their careers like galleons - in public, at least - Seymour's ship was always taking in water. It is unsurprising, then, that over the years she has avoided the press like the plague. I hadn't realised quite how scarred she is by publicity - or at least by her own view of what her public image is - until I met her last week. She had refused interview requests for her own recent appearances with Scottish Ballet as Lady Capulet, and with Northern Ballet Theatre in A Simple Man, but she agreed to 'do it for Derek's thing' - Derek being the film director Derek Jarman, who asked her to play the Russian ballerina Lydia Lopokova in his new film, Wittgenstein.

    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991). Less familiar titles are Monta Bell's Pretty Ladies and Lights of Old Broadway (both 1925), Rex Ingram's The Garden of Allah (1927) and The Prisoner - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 of Zenda (1929), Fred Zinnemann's Eyes in the Night (1942) and Act of Violence (1949), and Anthony Mann's Border Incident (1949) and The Naked Spur (1953).
