INADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE. Sunk in mediocrity, trapped in middle life, self-accusing and self-condemned, John Osborne's anti-hero spews out a caustically funny anathema on his world and his fate. In the lead, Nicol Williamson is scaldingly good...
...bold step: it scathingly denounced its own economic policies of the past 20 years. In the works was an entirely new economic model-aimed at decentralizing the economy and stimulating production through a combination of incentives and labor-force reduction. That would mean carrying workers as unemployed-anathema to Marxists. It would also be a threat to central planning. Unfortunately, old-line functionaries, anxious to preserve their jobs and perquisites, have dug in. Pointing to a modest upturn in the lagging Czech economy (the result of a peak investment cycle), the purists have stalemated a large part...

Even when the game was over and Kentucky had won by 26 points, the Baron was not satisfied. "We've got to go back to work on our defense," he muttered, studying a list of twelve mistakes committed by his Wildcats...
