John Maynard Keynes called profits "the engine which drives enterprise." Millions of Americans depend on that engine to a great degree not only for their jobs but also for financial growth through profit-sharing funds, pension funds and dividend payments. Profits are used to enrich not merely a relatively few corporate managers and big shareholders but also masses of wage earners. When profits are perking up, a company's management is more willing and able to grant wage and salary increases to its employees. High-profit companies can be expected to spend more than low-profit firms to invest...
Chicago Project's interjection of Western humor is partly successful, but too many lines drop flat; they depend on word play and completely skim over any meaning. It strikes one as hollow, callous, and unfeeling to continually place religion and ancient divine myths in a jazzed up context, ignoring any of their intrinsic significance.

Nevertheless, I don't intend to defy the ads and reveal the secret of The Other, for there's a certain irrevocable moment when its whole world gives a sudden shudder and turns over that's worth experiencing if you can; it's just that the film doesn't depend on it.

Rocco Piccolomini as the General is a fine old fashioned zany with a phony moustache and a phony accent to match, both of which contribute immeasurably to his persona, as he and the posturing poetaster...
...they were not in evidence at the convention and openly mocked. The nominee himself set the tone when he told reporters that he did not think it would be "fatal" if Meany and Daley failed to endorse him. "I don't think my chances of winning the election depend on unanimous support of the little oligarchy at the top. If they did, I would never be where I am now because I certainly haven't had much help from them along...
