...reconception involves very little change in the text -- some tinkering and one new song -- but a top-to-bottom rethinking of attitude. The intention of composer Lloyd Webber, lyricist-librettists Don Black and Christopher Hampton, choreographer Bob Avian and director Trevor Nunn was always to echo Billy Wilder's astringent film. In London, however, the team confused fidelity to the plot with fidelity of tone...
...have the same electoral effect -- Clinton's defeat. "It's like where I was 20 years ago," says Jackson, referring to his almost candidacy in 1972. Back then Jackson said, "I don't trust white Republicans or white Democrats; I want a black party." He's too clever to echo those inflammatory words today, but his meaning is the same.

Why not invoke it at the top and then get on with the story...
...American society. One of the most ^ outspoken advocates for the latter is Daniel Stein, executive director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, who favors a moratorium on all immigration, insisting that "nations do not have an unlimited capacity to absorb immigrants without irrevocably altering their own character" -- an echo of a view enunciated more than a century...
