She is said to work long hours but to like skiing, tennis and foreign travel. Owada's life will be much different once she moves to the palace.

It is unthinkable, for example, that she would keep her job. Most of the important decisions of her life will be made only with the approval of the Imperial Household Agency. And she will have no family name, being known only as Crown Princess Masako. The royal wedding, likely to be held this summer, will be an elaborate production adhering closely to the script of every royal wedding here since the Heian era, 794-1192 A.D. Advertiser staff writer Vicki Viotti contributed to this report.

the powerful bureaucracy that supervises Japan's royal family. Initial public response to the royal engagement seemed wildly enthusiastic particularly among Japan's growing coterie of college-educated career women, who look on Owada as a role model. Owada has a formidable resume. The daughter of a top diplomat, she lived in Moscow and New York as a child and speaks English fluently. She also has studied Spanish, German, French and Russian.

Owada graduated from Belmont High School in suburban Boston and magna cum laude in economics from Harvard in 1985 and studied law at Tokyo University, the most prestigious college in Japan. In 1986, she passed Japan's foreign service exam on her first try, a feat accomplished by about one in 50 applicants.

Compiled by Will Hoover All over now The Rolling Stones' bass guitarist Bill Wyman said yesterday he has quit the veteran rock 'n' roll group. "I have many special memories," the 55-year-old Wyman said. "It has been wonderful.

But I thought the last two tours with them were the best we have ever done and so I was quite happy to stop after that," he said. Wyman, who is the oldest member of the group led by singer Mick Jagger, said he decided to leave to concentrate on his solo career, London restaurant and other interests. "When I joined this band we thought we would last two or three years with a bit of luck and come out with a few shillings in our pockets. Now here I am 30 years later and I have not done any of the other important things in life." Ball-oney "Going is always such a nightmare.

FROM PAGE B1 Nureyev gave the impression he was barely tamed. He might even be dangerous. He and Fonteyn, later Dame Margot, went on to become the most famous ballet duo in the world. She was nearly 20 years older, married and maybe thinking of hanging up her toe shoes. But when they performed "Romeo and Juliet," he made her 16 again.

"When I am dancing with him, and I look across the stage, I see not Nureyev, but the character of the ballet," Fonteyn once said. "I don't see, as I do with others, a man I know and talk to every day. I see the ballet He is absorbed in the role." His technique was stunning. He jumped higher and farther, and beat his feet together faster than Western audiences had seen before. He was less concerned with details like swinging his leg at the perfect angle from the floor during a spin than with making a grand, overall performance.

Maude Gosling, a London-based dance critic and a friend of Nureyev's since 1962, said yesterday, "I think he'll be remembered as the greatest dancer of our lifetime." Nureyev performed on stages around the world up until his 50s, though some audiences griped because his dancing lacked the physicality that had been one of his trademarks. At nearly 53, on a 30-city tour, with a show called "Rudolf Nureyev and Friends," Nureyev accepted his body's limitations without apology, dancing darker, dramatic and less demanding roles. He also turned to choreography and directed the Paris Opera Ballet from 1983-89, retiring to take the lead role in a traveling version of the Broadway musical "The King and Last summer, he made his American debut as a conductor i Advertiser file photo by David Yamada Nureyev in a practice leap during a 1981 Isle visit.

He returned to Paris in 1992 with his choreography of "La Bayadere," Marius Petipa's 19th-century classic. On Oct 8, in his last stage appearance, for the premiere of "La Bayadere," he looked gaunt and had to be helped to walk. He blinked back tears as the audience gave him a 10-minute standing ovation. Nureyev appeared in several films including "Romeo and Juliet," "Swan Lake," "I Am a Dancer," "Don Quixote" and the frightful "Exposed" with Nastassja Kinski. He played the title role in "Valentino," an appalling biography of the silent film star, another celebrated Rudolf.

"Dance is my life," he said. "It means, well, somehow life tastes better when I dance." The world of dance will taste bland without him.
