In 1998, Vanity Fair asked me to write a big piece for them on the 50th anniversary of the New York City Ballet.

The experience of the '90s, whether it's the '94 peso crisis or the '97 crisis in Asia, the '98 crisis, even the 2001 crisis, is that we recovered pretty readily. There wasn't great consequence.
