...fall of 1980-just in time for the presidential elections. That is well above the 6.9% rate predicted by the White House last month. Real G.N.P. is expected to drop 1.4% this year. Because the recession will hang on through next spring instead of ending late in 1979 or very early in 1980, real growth next year will be no higher than 1.1%, instead of the 2% forecast earlier. Finally, inflation will continue to rage at 11% through the end of the year and average close to 9% next year...
Since the transactions reflect the real price that buyers are willing to pay, the deals are closely watched by OPEC members for signs that the cartel's long-term prices could be increased. Spot prices have eased from a peak of $42 per bbl. in late May to about $30 to $32 per bbl., but fears of production cuts have stopped the slide...
Some companies, including Spain's state-owned Hispanoil, have refused to meet the extortionate price, but others may cave in soon if supplies grow much tighter. Late last month tiny Qatar had no difficulty auctioning off 3.2 million bbl. of crude for an excessive $34.30 per bbl. to Japanese importers as well as a Lebanese company, Gatoil International, for delivery to its Swiss subsidiary...
John Conklin's set (inspired by sketches by the late Rudolf Heinrich for Santa Fe's U.S. premiere of the shorter Lulu in 1963) captures the work's heartless, hypocritical milieu with a doorway here, a sofa or a plant there. All is gelid grays and greens except for the lurid red of Lulu's dress and wig. The stage is framed by two skeletal, metallic walls that recede almost to a vanishing point. In the final scene, when Lulu has ended up as a prostitute in a London attic, the walls suggest the street below...
Unlike C.S. Lewis, Sayers did not come late to religion. It was "no accident," she later wrote, that Gaudy Night, her penultimate detective work, and The Zeal of Thy House, her first religious drama, were "variations upon a hymn to the Master Maker." During her later years, religion became increasingly important in her life. Hone follows Sayers as, dressed in mannish suits, she made her public rounds of BBC talks and academic lectures. But her private life remains largely a mystery-as does Hone's reason for calling this a "literary biography," since it fails to analyze the books...
