...musicals opened originally on Broadway between 1917 and 1932; the sixth, Zip! Goes a Million, closed out of town in 1919 (and thus could have been eligible in the Tonys' "new musical" category). All have a witty ebullience that would merit revival even if they did not boast some unforgettable songs: I've Told Every Little Star, Till the Clouds Roll By, Bill, The Song Is You, We Belong Together, dozens more.

Nicaragua has 150 tanks; Guatemala has ten and the other Central American nations none at all. Though the Sandinistas are deficient in combat aircraft, they boast 36 helicopters, including at least ten Soviet-made Hind gunships. Hopes that this military machine eventually may be cut back rose a bit last week. Representatives of Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Costa Rica, meeting in Panama, agreed to set up a commission to monitor the arms-reduction provisions...
