This volume captures the remarkable renaissance the American Ballet Theatre has experienced in the last 25 years of this century. Beginning with an introduction by dance critic Clive Barnes, it deftly traverses the company's evolution with sections that scan its precarious beginnings, the innovative Baryshnikov years, and the current McKenzie era. The 170-plus color and b&w photographs will fascinate the ballet afficionado. Kaye's credentials are not noted. The volume is oversize: 10.25x11.50<">. Annotation c.

An all-access look at the Lakers' championship season. . "Elizabeth Kaye is a wonderful writer--as a reporter she's like a bulldog--she grabs onto you and doesn't let go until she figures out everything about you. Throughout Ain't No Tomorrow, she discovers and explains the game of basketball in a way that no one ever has. She takes the reader through the mental preparation, coaching strategies, and personal struggles of players--who are part Rocky and part Rambo. If you like to read, you'll love Ain't No Tomorrow." --Sylvester Stallone. . At the start of the 2000 NBA playoffs, the famously underachieving Los Angeles Lakers found themselves the focus of national attention. The team that had limped along since the golden era of Magic Johnson was now endowed with basketball's two most gifted and dominant players, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, and was led by none other than Phil Jackson, the most fabled coach in the NBA. By the time the Lakers beat Indiana in game six of the championship series, they showed themselves unstoppable, a team above and apart and blessed with a glamour and facility that made them the obvious franchise to lead pro basketball into the new millennium.. . Then everything began to fall apart. Jackson had warned his team that the truly challenging season is the one after an initial big win, and his words were quickly becoming reality as the great team slipped into profound disarray at the start of the new season. Ain't No Tomorrow is an intimate look at the astonishing eight-month roller-coaster ride that became the Lakers' 2000�-2001 season: a time of tumult and drama when impulses toward brotherhood and unity dissolved into petty, ugly battles and bruised egos; when men who previously rose to a great challenge grew greedy and slack.. . Combining brilliant reporting and original perspective, Elizabeth Kaye��--a journalist granted special access to Jackson, Shaq, Kobe, and other major players--��takes you into the minds and hearts of the team members. She chronicles the unique story of a team that ultimately righted itself, united, and found its way to a second championship title--��but only after an extraordinary season in which exciting sports drama becomes human drama at its most compelling and complex..

Quotations:
Elizabeth Kaye told CA: "I write because nothing seems real to me until and unless I write it down. I also write to try to understand what think about the various, ongoing stimuli that comprise experience. I am beginning to think my work is chiefly influenced by the combination of (and tension between) my aspirations and my limitations.
My writing is inspired by a desire to understand particular experiences that are common to people, such as aging, dying, and loving, and the attempt to understand the experience of people (Rudolf Nureyev '''Quid be an example) who have the unique quality Iook of as 'otherness,' who therefore live essentially without peers."
Elizabeth Kaye married David Gates on April, 1984 (divorced, 1991). After that he married Clive Barnes (a critic).
