...that he "was heading straight for trouble," immediately announced that he would try to form a coalition with three or four other moderate and rightist parties. A likely coalition member is the right-wing Thai Nation Party, headed by Pramarn Adireksarn, 60, a retired major general and a prominent businessman. Late last week Seni said that he had gained 119 seats with the help of other parties, enough to form a minority government. Pramarn is considered the front runner to become Deputy Prime Minister...
Eddie Crane retired from the city council four years ago to return to a private practice as an attorney in Boston. He had lost his power five years before that. And yet say the name Eddie Crane to a Harvard Square businessman and his face lights up--it's like a code-word for action.

...shows are artistically desirable. To make the theater accessible to everyone, financing should come more from the government and from foundations, and less from private investors and the box office. And much of the dirty work that Prince complains about could thus be eliminated. The contradiction between artist and businessman would be resolved simply by acknowledging that it is impossible to create a show in the same way you would finance a profit-making venture Although this seems the most obvious point that emerges from this somewhat confusingly written book, it is something that Prince never seems to grasp...
