yes the Glasco affair was a complicated matter for the National Ballet, but it all goes back to Mr K and his "real" reason for not renewing her contract (reasons such as age, dance ability and expense were all not true)  As a member of the board of the directors, her comments and actions, should not effect her status as a dancer with the company.  Miss Glasco stood up for her rights and fought and won!    I wouldn't put too much weight on Margaret Wente's articles on this subject, to read a unbiased account of the affair - check our Heather Mallick's article "Et tutu, brute" July 2000.
