True enough. But in fact there is no going back; to gaze at the rearview mirror guarantees a crash. The best of Follies indicates that the art of the theater, like all art, must renew itself by destroying tradition or by using it in fresh ways. Follies amply demonstrates that the musical?America's single greatest contribution to the history of drama?need not become the exclusive province of the antique dealer or the rock group. In style and substance it can be as flexible as a film, as immediate as a street scene. Lyrics need not be laundry lists...
...brasher competitors to narrow its lead in chemicals. McCoy is the first chief executive in the company's 169-year history to have no direct family ties with the Du Ponts, but he reflects their courtly attitude toward business. "We do not believe in doing things on a crash basis," he says. "We evolve continuously and deliberately."

Last week NBC News President Reuven Frank reminded his staff in a memo that "misleading practice" has been forbidden for years and noted, "I get as weary of being called on to be Caesar...
...gone for good just before their 21st birthday, the Sweetmeats came to mean something to just about everybody in America at one time or another. The middle-aged remember them as those darling eight-year-old stars of Hansel and Gretel, tragic dears orphaned by an auto crash, who became the exemplary children of the Marezie Oats oatmeal commercials. To the kids who had to eat the gruel, Pookie and Paul were the double thrust of the '60s youth rebellion. Paul is revered for exposing himself at a Dallas rockfest, Pookie for burning her bra at a Miss America...
