While Sullivan's music in H.M.S. is generally a pleasure to listen to, the orchestra in the Agassiz production was frequently off-key, which made it slightly disappointing. There was a confusion with timing as well, best exemplified by the opening act, in which, after the orchestra finished playing, all the members turned to stare expectantly at the empty stage for nearly half a minute before the first scene began...

America is in decline because of American managers who only care about their short-term gains so that they can boast about them at the next shareholders' meeting. Japanese managers use shareholders' meetings to explain their long-term plans and ask shareholders to bear with limited dividends. Japan has succeeded in rebuilding its economy because it has kept...
