In a scarcely veiled bow to those G.O.P. critics, Senate majority leader Bob Dole indicated last week that he was willing to reconsider the hefty tax break. But after presidential rival Phil Gramm and other prominent Republicans blasted Dole's remarks, the Kansan described the $245 billion cut as his unswerving goal...

Miller, as Harvard's G&S fans know, could make a career breathing life into these archaic operettas. He presides over the court-room chaos with the imperturbility of Victoria on her throne and is equally game to hop from his bench for "Trial by Jury's" spirited polka climax...
