...performers, however, generally succeed in their primary task: singing the songs. Patty Woo as Nora, Tommy's mother, is especially strong in the classic, "Tommy Can You Hear Me/Smash the Mirro." She precisely evokes a bizarre combination of tender motherly concern and guilt-inspired anger. And as an extra bonus, Woo develops her character without overacting in the moments when she is not singing: a job the other actors find difficult to do. Bob Cunningham, as Nora's lover/accomplice Frank, sings adequately. Once away from the mike however, he presents either exaggerated venom or a sense of being...
...claimed that they had come to a tentative agreement with three of the nation's four major tiremakers. The deal, according to the union, would include raising the current average wage of $8 an hour by $1.14 over three years, increasing the COLA clause and pensions, giving a Christmas bonus to retirees and providing for retirement after 25 years on the job.

Finally, regular savings accounts will pay an extra half percent bonus on the minimum balance held over twelve months...
...crisis has proved to be something of a political bonus for the Conservative opposition and its shrewd leader, Margaret Thatcher. Because minority parties continue to support Callaghan's government, she has stopped short of calling for a vote of confidence that might topple Callaghan and conceivably lead to a Tory victory in a new election. But Thatcher has taken every opportunity to attack Callaghan for his handling of the unions. Last week, for example, she brandished a challenge: "You no longer have the courage to act. Will you not then at least have the courage to resign?" The Prime...
