Report on Nureyev: Dancer Rudolf Nureyev, who appeared haggard and weak at a ballet premiere in Paris last week, is suffering from AIDS, a British newspaper says. An American friend of Nureyev also has told the Associated Press in New York that the dancer is suffering from the disease. The friend, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Nureyev would never talk about his disease. The French ballet press has written repeatedly about Nureyev’s pallor, weight loss and fatigue but has never attributed it to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Nureyev, 54, left Paris last Friday with friends to vacation in the Caribbean.
