Neil Miller's orchestra, which is fine when it's blaring forth the overtures, sounds embarrasingly thin during quieter numbers like "How Are Things in Glocca Morra" and "Old Devil Moon."

...detailed information is becoming a corporate badge of status and confidence. In Switzerland, haven of the holding company, where only the loosest laws exist and no new ones are contemplated, the voluntary reports of such companies as Nestle, Geigy, Alusuisse, Sulzer and Landis & Gyr already reflect recognition that fuller disclosure is the coming yardstick for a company's international standing...
