...only half serious, the bet is that Alaskans will not repeat the mistakes of this year's postponed boom. The state legislature can surely do better. In its last session, which ran a record 147 days, precious little was accomplished in long-term planning. The lawmakers had a "Blueprint for the Future" prepared by the Brookings Institution in Washington. Governor Miller preferred to order up his own study by the Stanford Research Institute. Result: ineffectual bickering about differences between the two versions. Still, one of the charms of the Alaskan legislators is that they have a particularly close relationship with...
Billera motivates his millionaires by what he admits is "sheer corn," including quarterly competitions for E-for-Excellence flags, and an annual bronze plaque for the member company that does best. Behind such techniques is a Billera blueprint for building USI into a 500-company empire within ten years, though he has slowed acquisitions this spring.

...Boys, a reflection of several basic errors in conception and construction that the musical never overcomes. In essence, the Marx Brothers were absurdists, comic illogicians who disrupted routines, tipped the daily balance sheet of existence awry, and exploded surprises like firecrackers. By contrast, the musical is a routine Broadway blueprint of the oft-repeated show-biz saga. Here it all is-indigent beginnings, ineffectual father, indomitable, solicitous and insufferable stage mother, fleabag hotels, one-night stands, the big chance with the kingpin producer, a smash hit at vaudeville's old Valhalla, the Palace, and at the final fadeout...
