...wealth of the new market multimillionaires is the public's seemingly insatiable appetite for shares in companies selling their stock for the first time. Preceded by a blizzard of legal papers, corporate puffery and prospectuses, new companies are rushing to capitalize on the buoyant market. Last year nearly 900 companies made initial offerings of stock, raising $12.8 bilion. That is almost nine times more capital than was raised by new firms in 1982 and even more than the amount for all the years since 1971 put together. Mutual funds and pension funds, big institutional buyers and individual shareholders have...
...Louis home with fleecy clouds, he has furnished it in a sturdy naturalistic style. Director John Dexter has paced the play to move one resolute step at a time, and encouraged the actors to deliver their lines with clarion force. This is a "solid" production, but it should be buoyant. The Wingfields imbibe a kind of emotional helium; only the guy wires of propriety keep them from floating into their darkest dreams. But with the exception of Bruce Davison's Tom, who nicely mixes wistfulness and cynicism, this Wingfield family is an chored to-sunk beneath-the matter...
...poor second to deep thought. Hearts and Bones explores the gap between thought and feeling. Think Too Much is a classic statement of the quandary ("Have you ever experienced a period of grace/ When your brain just takes a seat behind your face") that keeps the record buoyant even at its bleakest. A piece of compact virtuosity, Hearts and Bones ends with a tribute to John Lennon that is a little like a streamlined time transport.

...have a vote in favor of evolutionary reform." So proclaimed a buoyant South African Prime Minister Pieter W. Botha last week, and for once he was not merely wishing aloud. By a two-to-one majority, some 2.1 million voters - a fraction of the white-dominated country's 30 million inhabitants - had endorsed a proposal sponsored by Botha's ruling National Party to rewrite the South African constitution and soften its policy of whites-only rule. Botha also hailed the outcome of the referendum as "overwhelming." There Prime Minister was stretching matters a bit. Nonetheless, a milestone...
...minted college town of Corinth, the setting for Loving, ABC's first new soap opera in eight years and Nixon's first new soap in 13. Loving, which airs daily at 11:30 a.m. E.D.T., is only five weeks old and thus far ranks among the least buoyant of the soaps: No. 11 of 13 last week. But a new entry needs time, often as much as two years, to find both a following and a rhythm. ABC is not worried. Nixon has had a successful serial on TV five days a week, every week, for the past...
