Scope and content
Discusses Fred's ballet work. Thinks Fred is unwise to do three act ballets. Feels that the Royal Ballet has no intellectual direction. If he had anything to do with it, he would blast it open, but David Webster swore an oath never to let the NYC Ballet again, as long as he was Intendant. Jens has gone to Boston for three months to work at the conservation department of the Gardner Museum. Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a huge success.
