...this week. Baker's measures of the past month constitute a new Reagan Administration policy in international economic affairs. During its first five years in office, the Administration had adopted a generally hands-off policy.

As it happens, Denise Deegan's Daisy Pulls It Off is neither a revival nor a musical (though it boasts a catchy school song by one "Beryl Waddle-Browne," an anagram for the show's producer, Andrew Lloyd Webber). It is a sparkling, spanking-new parody of the Brazil novels that manages to be at once knowing and wide-eyed. The entire cast is darling-one wants to adopt the lot of them-led by Alexandra...
