1994 - Spring
I went to the State College of Pennsylvania. . . I told them that education was for teachers, not for students, and that nothing worth knowing could be taught. As usual they remained calm.
Mr Roddy McDowall, who seems to bounce from side to side of the continent like a shuttlecock in a game of Badmington, returned to New York form Los Angeles recently and took me to lunch at Sardi's.
I was taken by my Doctor to see the hundredth season of the New York Ballet at Lincoln Center. It was a huge success. However Americans are not such balletomanes as the English. . . At the Center there were no fantastic leaps - no dangerous lifts. If I sound disappointed, that is because ballet os for the very young. Years ago I loved it, though I can't now remember whether I loved the ballet or loved loving it.
Onward and upward, I have flown into the presence of a Mrs Krim. I was invited by AmFAR, of which she is chairperson. Mrs Krim lives on West 69th Street in an elegance and splendour I have never seen rivalled. . . The occasion was a commemoration of the death of Mr Mapplethorpe, whose foundation has given a million dollars to AmFAR.
