...newly surfaced details of U.S. branch accounts are a small slice of what the Swiss banks held, since they only represent funds transferred to New York City by fearful Europeans. After the war began, the U.S. Government froze the American accounts of people living in German-occupied territory in order to keep the money out of Nazi hands. The Swiss Bank Corp. list, recently declassified along with other wartime secrets, had originally been handed over to the U.S. by the bank in 1941. Similar records were submitted by the New York City offices of Credit Suisse and the Swiss-America...
Here's a powerful "before" and "after" comparison. City Year before Judith Kidd: Annual revenues of $2.47 million; 100 corps members serving in only one city, Boston--and worked out of an inaccessible warehouse that froze in winter, sweltered in summer and leaked year round.

...here again, the experiments were novel. The light table and operator sat on the stage below the audience rather than behind it, and the chorus had their own table to sit at like a committe or a review board. Adding a bit of awkward confusion, two of the actors froze the last moment of the final scene before intermission straight through intermission to the opening of the next act. No one knew when to applaud and when to stretch...
