...mostly with manic humor and risk-taking. In Orphee, the small stage in the Kronauer Space not only limits the action, it also limits the actors. On opening night, at least, the players showed some awkwardness maneuvering around the table and chairs. It didn't help the smooth flow of the show that guardian angel Carleton, due to unfortunate (and bizarre) circumstances, had to hop about in a cast. The handicap did, however, contribute to the dramatic tension--will he or won't he make it up to the high platform? Carleton's sidekick character, Heuteboise, is hilarious...
Perhaps it is an occupational hazard: political scientists, even more than academics in other fields, seem to want to see their theories acted out in the real world. Machiavelli, offering unsolicited advice to Renaissance princes, may have been one of the first, but the path is wellworn--as the flow between Harvard's Government Department and Washington attests...
...white" cities. Forced removals have broken up Black communities offering resistance to government policies--a perfect example of preventing opposition from mobilizing. Similarly, mass detentions, a constant troop presence on township streets, and a certain degree of dishonesty in the government's rhetoric--all these might be seen to flow logically from Huntington's 1981 proposals.

He now gains many more votes than he once did from English-speaking whites...
...businesses greater rewards, failed to produce an offsetting revenue bonanza. While sky-high interest rates and the 1981-'82 recession might be partly to blame, supply-side critics say the idea was faulty from the start.

It would have been even higher if Congress had not adopted a $98 billion tax increase in 1982, which Reagan grudgingly signed. Moreover, the deficit kept mounting despite the Administration's imaginative revenue- boosting plans, which ranged...
...poor academic up to now," he says, noting that the value of his only other major asset, his share of the M.I.T. pension fund, was reduced in last week's debacle. But some good may yet come of the Crash of '87, he says, if it lessens the flow of bright graduate students to investment banks. "It may make engineers out of some yuppies," he smiles. "Sweet are the uses of adversity...
