...Line debuted in April 1975, it caused, in the words of a song in its score, one singular sensation. It swept nine Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for drama. More impressive still, as the years rolled on, it kept packing in crowds until, this past New Year's Eve, the musical celebrated its 6,000th performance, a milestone not reached by any other Broadway offering in history...
...leveraged buyouts and issued $14 billion in junk bonds during the late 1980s, the company chose its deals with care. (Morgan did come up short in one notable fight, however, when it assisted Paramount Communications in its failed $12.2 billion hostile bid for Time Inc. last year on the eve of the company's planned merger with Warner Communications.)

If reform-shy regional party secretaries...
...potatoes and kasha, a kind of porridge, ordinary Soviets must wait in long lines, sometimes for hours, to purchase such "luxuries" as soap, coffee and sausage. Meat that is not nine-tenths gristle is seldom available. Yet special shops for higher-ups are well stocked. On New Year's Eve people who rushed to the scene of a car crash in the Ukrainian town of Chernigov were incensed to discover a lavish cache of meats and vodka in the trunk of the damaged official vehicle. They seized the delicacies and smashed the car to bits, then towed its carcass...
