...Pudding performance last year, cast member Jon Tolins announced that a friend of his was in the audience, and requested permission to bring him backstage. Tolins' fellow transvestite thespians were amazed to see that the 'friend' was none other than PBS talkster Dick Cavett. Cavett not only came backstage but took the whole cast out to pizza where he was awarded a facsimile of the famous Pudding Pot in the shape of a pizzeria pitcher and christened Alternate Man of the Year, recalls Weir...

His unusual self-defense role also gives him a chance to come across as an unsinister personality to jurors. Persico's strategy, says one court veteran, "is brilliant, if it works." But he runs a risk: his questions must not convey knowledge...
Charles Schultze, a senior fellow at Washington's Brookings Institution, was slightly less troubled by the recent trade data. He countered that in view of the long lag between a falling dollar and an improvement in exports, there was no reason to expect the trade deficit to have fallen very much by now. In any event, the majority of the board members agreed that the trade gap would surely begin to narrow by year's end.
