Jacobi, a Shakespearean best known in the U.S. for the title role in the PBS mini-series I, Claudius, again employs fidgety mannerisms. But Turing emerges distinctly in his fierce, futile independence. Although joined by fine, mostly British actors -- Jenny Agutter, Michael Gough and Rachel Gurney among them -- Jacobi gives what approximates a masterly one-man show. In a brilliantly calibrated scene near the end, he makes Turing's happiest moment also serve as a sad metaphor for his yearning, and inability, to communicate. He enfolds himself in the arms of a Greek youth, neither able to speak the other...
...live with a robust dollar and the new reality of international competition. Too many companies became complacent in the 1950s and 1960s, when the U.S. had a big lead in technology and foreign competitors were still rebuilding their economies in the aftermath of World War II. Observes Robert Gough, a senior economist with Data Resources, a consulting firm: "The domestic market was so rich that the U.S. was not as aggressive in developing foreign markets as other countries."

Cranbrook's first great achievement was the 350-acre campus itself, which includes four schools, an institute of science and a museum.

...plan for slightly deeper cuts. Nonetheless, the deficits will remain huge. The Congressional Budget Office reported last week that even if the $150 billion project is adopted, the deficit will be $198 billion in fiscal year 1987. Such heavy federal borrowing will keep pressure on interest rates. Economist Robert Gough of Data Resources, a Lexington, Mass., economic-analysis firm, warns, "The business community is beginning to be crowded out of the credit markets, and I think we will see some slowdown in business spending in the months ahead...
...witnessed the euphoria in December 1972 when Gough Whitlam's charisma turned many Australian voters into Labor supporters after a generation of Liberal rule. Australia was sentenced to three years of "hard Labor," from which it never fully recovered. Now another superstar appears. I do not doubt Bob Hawke's ability as a star. It is the supporting cast and divided crew who frighten...
