With love to Doug Schneider on his seventieth birthday. Linda’s note on the Star Meanwhile figure: 1st couple needs to “watch for the gap” as they cross the set and as they change places up and down: For 1st man it 's between the third couple and for 1st woman it’s between the 2nd couple both times. Another way to think of it is that 1M is always casting around 3M and 1W is always casting around 2W.
