...time these days between his late wife's summer mansion in Newport and the Ritz in Boston. At the Ritz he usually lunches alone, but every few bites he springs across the room to greet in heavily accented English some acquaintance at another table. In Newport his batonlike index finger waves to the accompaniment of an avalanche of talk, which is usually about Maxim Karolik. In both places he is like a character out of an old Russian novel-a tall, exuberant figure with a penchant for astrakhan-collared coats or pea jackets with mink collars and cuffs...
Rolling Reconsideration. Since the beginning of this year's third quarter, the economy has shown some peculiar dips that lend support to Stahl's retrenchment thesis (see chart). The industrial production index fell fractionally in October and stayed down in November. Business inventories dipped significantly in August. A number of industries have cut back on employment-most notably the steel industry, which has laid off nearly 73,000 workers since last March...

...exploration of its characters, it hints at many dramatic statements but always backs off. The tension in Woody's life is finally between personal sacrifice and personal gratification; a divorce and an affair; a business coup and a business risk. By an unintended irony the play emphasizes the financial index of success. Presisely because Howard Da Silva (Woody's father) is the most vivid human being on stage, and because the success of The Business is vital to him, the audience finds itself rooting very hard for the commercial vindication of Miss Julie Lingerie...
