...both?in the economy and politics. Production and income rose and unemployment fell, all more rapidly than almost any economists or business leaders had dared to hope at the end of the frightening 1981-82 recession. The inflation rate dropped lower than it had been since 1972. Federal Judge Harold Greene supervised the final breakup of the world's largest corporation...
...felt by every person in the U.S. who uses a phone, or expects to benefit from new communications technologies that the breakup should inspire. The man who supervised this landmark case is an unassuming, soft-spoken German refugee, virtually unknown outside a small circle of jurists. Yet Federal Judge Harold H.

...CONTINENTS. For Hall, it has been a rough year on the roller coaster of notoriety, after triumphs in 1982 at the National (including Harold Pinter's Other Places) and the Glyndebourne Festival Opera (where Hall directed Orfeo et Eurydice). But last November he staged Verdi's Macbeth at New York City's Metropolitan Opera to a gang of mostly abusive reviews. Then this summer Hall premiered his production of The Ring of the Nibelung at Bayreuth, and things were no sunnier there. The work opened to bad reviews and an audience that sounded, as one reviewer wrote...
