...musical play. Its richly colored music was transcribed for the scholarly New York Pro Musica group (which first revived the play last year) from a 13th century manuscript unearthed in the British Museum.

...G.N.P. greatly overstates the rate of growth of the U.S. economy. When production sags, it understates the drop, since prices tend to hold up. To counteract these price distortions, the Commerce Department brought out a new indicator.

The economy was barely expanding at all, though the current-dollar G.N.P. soared to a new high. When the downturn...

Its potential value to the undergraduate community lies in offering expert advice to the Deans on current problems of students, solely as a group of twenty-eight well-informed individuals...
