Determined Spoiler. Faust is usually done as a Victorian morality play in which the Devil rightly gets his due. The New York City Opera's new production at Lincoln Center is a chiller in which an obstinate Mephistopheles stands as a towering match for the Almighty. From the moment when he first springs to life in Faust's laboratory, it is readily apparent that this is a Devil who bursts with the power of his own evil. He taunts God endlessly, even pulling an arrow brazenly from the chest of a statue of St. Sebastian to make wine...
...industry's early-October performance suggests that the 10% tax surcharge has done remarkably little to dampen consumer spending.* With Buick and Oldsmobile improving most, G.M. showed sizable gains in all divisions except Cadillac. Ford fared best with such full-size models as its new LTD, while Lincoln Mercury's biggest gainer was the Cougar, available for the first time in a convertible.

With red, white, and blue streamers hanging from the ceiling and crayoned quotations from every President since Lincoln on the wall, the transformed gymnasium looks like an uneasy hybrid NSA convention and junior high school prom. The keynote speeches by Mayor Walter Sullivan and Congressman Tip O'Neill have been irrelevant, the first by way of saying nothing at all, the second by way of two very long, very old Irish jokes and a passing reference to the Congressman's concern for the Cambridge situation. Both have long since departed. The Convention has descended into the introduction--hamstrung...
