White's administration, in fact, seems to be an ideal Act II for what has be come known as the New Boston. In Act I-the fine, sometimes brilliant administration of John Collins-the city was dramatically saved from nearly three-quarters of a century of inelegant decay by a variety of bold, even spectacular renewal projects. Business confidence, lost by a succession of amiable but frequently corrupt mayors, was restored, private investment increased, and "the Hub," as its citizens still sometimes like to call it, once more was the center of something...
Barbara Castle's job is to convince them-or at least see that they hew the line. She can refer violators to the Prices and Incomes Board, which can revoke and fine them, but plans to use discipline only "in the nature of reserve powers." Instead, she has already announced her own positive "interventionist", policy, inviting unions to negotiate wage increases of any size-as long as they are based on equal gains in productivity.

As the tale is related in Genesis, Laban, who owned the sheep, told Jacob he would be paid for tending them with any lambs born spotted or speckled, and Jacob's method of inducing speckled progeny was to lay peeled...
...classical music what Spike Jones did for pop. Since Schickele started his P.D.Q. Bach concerts in New York City three years ago, the baroque revival has never been the same. What makes his satire so devastating is that even his broadest buffoonery is backed by thorough knowledge and fine musicianship; he is an experienced "serious" composer who took a degree at Juilliard and studied with Roy Harris and Darius Milhaud...
