...course, every silver lining has a cloud or two. Might not the great Form 1040 income-tax fiasco (see following story) cut into consumer spending? And what if there were to be a strike in the steel industry, where labor-management negotiations last week seemed to be nearing a dead end? No matter. Most Americans would still find "buoyant" and "ebullient" excellent words to describe the state of the economy...

For example, Actress Barbara Loden, who seemed to be a remarkable find as Marilyn Monroe in After The Fall, turned out to be embarrassingly like what one would expect Marilyn to have been if she had ever played Dostoevsky, as she was forever hoping to. And with Incident at Vichy-Arthur Miller's new hit-things came full circle. Thus, approximately one year after its opening, Lincoln Center has served as little...
