Titled The Bi-Coastal Economy, the study asserts that economic growth during the Reagan Administration has been concentrated in California and 15 states lining the Atlantic Coast, while the rest of the country has been almost stagnant. From 1981 through 1985, these 16 coastal states enjoyed a lopsided 69% of total growth in personal income. Put another way: income from wages, salaries, rents and proprietary income in the 16 states rose a robust average 4% a year, vs. an anemic 1.4% in the other 34 states. The coastal states, where 42% of all Americans live, attracted...
Politics aside, the study seems accurate in broadest outline, but it conceals striking differences within regions. Not everything is booming along the coasts. The authors of The Bi-Coastal Economy managed to make it look that way only by excluding from the ranks of "coastal" states timber- producing Washington and Oregon and steel-dependent Pennsylvania (which lacks a coastline but is considered part of the Mid-Atlantic region). Nor is all gloom in the heartland. Michigan, one of the most depressed states a few years ago, has achieved a remarkable turnaround, thanks to heavy spending by the auto companies...
...legendary fin-de-siecle set piece on Paris' Rue Royale, now owned by Pierre Cardin. In the New York outpost, the semi-nouvelle French cuisine has been more memorable for its price ($65 for prix-fixe dinner) than for its excellence. The cream of mussel soup known as billi-bi, a Maxim's invention, is decently turned out, but stale-tasting duck pate and the overly complicated, overcooked saddle of lamb with basil cream could not even be considered near misses. The gaudy interior, a bad copy of the Paris setting, includes such embarrassingly corny touches as violinists serenading customers...
When we see Dancer dallying with his second wife Dawn (Barbara Williams), a radical and intellectual white beauty, we know the couple is a bi-racial conjugal stereotype, but it's clearly a stereotype with some factual basis. And the blow by blow (and blow and blow) of Pryor being lapped into the vortex of the Hollywood scene is painfully compelling. The scenes are nothing if not the typical cinematic version of sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll in the fast lane, but once again the stereotype earns credence from its factual basis...
