And it helps explain why Dole's new 30-second television ad, which promises tax cuts worth "$330 million for Iowa families," touts a "conservative agenda for change." Last week...
...propriety, Julie Johnson takes a few dainty steps to the front of the stage, sucks a little more oxygen into her grand bosom and singes the audience with I Do What I Can (with What I Got), a torchy tune about the advantages and imperatives of being a knockout babe. Johnson's rendition, in the Larry Grossman musical Paper Moon, is a KO as well; she coos, she beguiles, she does everything but bump it with a trumpet. It's the sort of turn to persuade even a show-biz skeptic that, yes, the Broadway musical is alive and well...
