Indeed, they could. A month ago, Morita took off on his 94th or 95th transpacific trip (he has lost exact count). This time he came as the self-assured export chief and primary owner of Sony Corp., the firm that as much as any other has made Japanese goods synonymous with high quality as well as low price. In Chicago, he told security analysts that Sony last year rang up sales of $414 million, more than half from exports to 147 countries of radios, tape recorders, TV sets and other products. In London, he went over sales projections...
...program of trade cooperation with Japan, the U.S. can count on support from some of the biggest Japanese businessmen. Morita has been calling for Japan to open its industry more rapidly to U.S. investment, though he gives the idea a characteristic Japanese twist of self-interest. "If we allow more U.S. investment, we will not need a security treaty," says Morita. "Of course the Americans will protect us then. Everybody protects his property...
Kleindienst, though, must also realize that the government can count on some dark pieces of statutory authority for use in civil emergencies. Federal law permits the President to take over the airwaves-radio and TV-for the duration of ambiguously defined crises.

But once again, why bother with statutes, anyway? Since the Constitution conveniently passes over the subject of martial law, the President can indeed claim considerable authority inherent in his office...
...play has a different focus than the original 1956 production. It might be argued that the change somewhat distorts O'Neill's intent. James (Robert Ryan) has toured the country for decades in a melodramatic potboiler, just as O'Neill's father did in The Count of Monte Cristo. Edwin Booth had once praised James' Othello, and he is haunted by the self-betrayal of his gifts. Ryan never quite suggests the commanding matinee-idol presence that Fredric March brought to the role...
Every musical aims for at least one showstopper. Follies can count on two. The first is Who's That Woman? Seven of the aging Follies girls, led by that infallible comedienne Mary Mc-Carty, re-enact an old routine, ostensibly to mirrors. From the indistinct background, their youthful selves emerge ?backs to the audience, as if a reflection: new vamps for old. The symmetry of the ballet?choreographed by Follies Co-Director Michael Bennett?is never violated for a quarter-note. When an old girl turns, her "reflection" makes the selfsame move in reverse, a feat whose parallel...
