Officials sheepishly admitted Wednesday that 17 of the 31 dancers and musicians from the Ballet d’Afrique Noire, currently touring the United States, failed to appear when due to leave Berkeley, California, after a performance at UCLA. “They did a beautiful performance at Zellerbach on Sunday afternoon. They went out to celebrate, and went hither and yon….the next day there was a bus call at noon, and we discovered that 17 people were missing.” – Yahoo (Reuters)
