Oklahoma! My Fair Lady. Funny Girl. Follies. Almost everyone loves a Broadway musical, and TIME is no exception; over the years we have featured these and a dozen other productions and their creators and stars on our cover. This week we are at it again, with a profile of British Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, whose The Phantom of the Opera opens later this month to the largest advance- ticket sales in Broadway history. "Phantom is more than a show," says Senior Editor Christopher Porterfield, who edited the story. "Like Lloyd Webber himself, it's an international phenomenon...
TIME has posed that question about many runaway hits and hitmakers over the years. We asked it of Lyricist Oscar Hammerstein, who appeared on our cover in 1947, when he and his partner, Composer Richard Rodgers, had five shows, including their musicals Oklahoma! and Allegro, playing on Broadway. (For all his popularity, Hammerstein had a yearly income of $500,000 -- roughly half of Lloyd Webber's present monthly royalties.) We wrote then that Hammerstein's words "carry a gentle insight and a sentimental catch in the throat to millions of people who are only dimly aware of his name." Within...
Lloyd Webber's pioneering smash hit Jesus Christ Superstar wedded the manic energy of rock 'n' roll to the musical theater, and appeared on our cover in 1971.

These U.S. authorities charge that the Mexican government, by withholding evidence and refusing to share knowledge of the case, has engaged in a cover- up aimed at protecting officials far more highly placed than any so far indicted. "It's like pulling teeth," says a top DEA official. "We're making progress, but it's slow...
...instance, my term bill last semester--$8000, plus two dollars for lost keys, one dollar for the library, and another two dollars to cover the cost of giving me a copy of my transcript. Now, no intensely self-respecting institution such as Harvard would ever demean itself so far as to nickel-and-dime the same students who pay over $16,000 each year to live in overcrowded dorms. Unless tradition was involved...
