Perhaps it is a bit discourteous for me to respond Larry's comments as
reported by Manuel, rather than Larry's original comments, but I must say
that I do not agree that a man must be lazy or selfish if he does not try
to impress his partner.  Such a comment largely reduces tango to a mating
rituals.  I think there is a much greater range of shared expression
available in tango than impressing one's partner.

As I recall, Larry once wrote that tango is a Rohrshack test.
