...employment picture has improved, even in the face of sluggish growth. In August the U.S. jobless rate fell from 6.9% to 6.8%. It was the third successive monthly decline, and it brought the unemployment rate to its lowest level since January. The economists expect the jobless rate to hover around 6.7% through the end of 1987, far below the 9.7% peak reached...

...production of Pirandello's Henry IV, for which he had also designed the sets and costumes, and it is typical of the man's combination of luck and manipulation that the play was agreeably reviewed in the Spectator and witnessed by Lytton Strachey. Wherever Beaton went, celebrity seemed to hover--or was he the one who contrived to be in the slipstream of the famous...
