...that it considers too risky. But that is not enough. Inaction and stalemate on the economy can be as dangerous as errant action. The nation cannot afford a prolonged political confrontation between the White House and Capitol Hill. If the President will not yield, Howard Baker and his congressional cohort really have no choice; they must try to provide the U.S. with some degree of economic leadership.

As a group, these women marry later than their mothers and delay having children until their education is completed and their careers are established.

Most of the comic leads--Feste, Olivia's drunken uncle Toby Belch, (Keith Rogal) his wimpy cohort Andrew Aguecheek, (Peter Howard), and the wench Maria (Dolly Wiggins)--stick to understatement, letting the situations and the lines do the work.

After checking into the nearest phone booth, he would emerge, leotards and all, leap tall buildings and so forth, to arrive at the scene of the crime just in time to save poor Lois. There would always be a moment of sexual...
...very optimistic about the prospects for increasing the number of tenured women. Over the last ten years, we have been recruiting our Faculty primarily from an age cohort in which the proportion of the women Ph.D.s was probably at its lowest ebb in this century... Now, a much larger proportion of women have gone through graduate school, and the period of junior faculty service...so that the pool of women Faculty available to us for tenure positions is likely to rise appreciably... That is already having an impact. We are now beginning to see three or four tenured women appointments...
