...single ten-day period, of course, is anything but conclusive. Nonetheless, the industry's early-October performance suggests that the 10% tax surcharge has done remarkably little to dampen consumer spending.* With Buick and Oldsmobile improving most, G.M. showed sizable gains in all divisions except Cadillac. Ford fared best with such full-size models as its new LTD, while Lincoln Mercury's biggest gainer was the Cougar, available for the first time in a convertible. Chrysler reported across-the-board gains, paced by Plymouth's ultra-sporty "Road Runner," so-called because of a "beep beep" horn...
...market is so tight that inflation is a constant danger. Eying next year's elections, some left-wing groups are already pushing for a general 10% wage increase. Even so, the country displays a confidence that borders on cockiness. This month Sharef declared a 15% cut in tariffs, except for autos, and he has scheduled further reductions for January.

Once the necessity of the youth's decline becomes known, Senelick asserts a masterly control. He counter-points the rapes and deceits which finally consume everyone on stage, (except perhaps the bourgeois Leantio, whose "breeding" makes life at court intolerable) with a rich display of period objects and customs. The two themes, the perversion of every code of conduct and the persistent and self-serving reverence for the code itself come together in the final scene: the principals all do one another in while the Duke of Florence, portrayed with a peculiar accent by Jonathan Raymond, complains that none...
