INDIVIDUAL PERFORMERS and specific numbers do stand out rather readily, almost too readily-- a pointed indication that the group dynamic simply isn't there. Frettra Miller as Jesus leads a stirring "Save the People," while Ann Henry adds power and fullness to a vibrant "Bless the Lord." Ty Warren is notable among the singers, as is freshman Steve Lyne whose lead in "We Beseech Thee," where the cast finally does come together, makes the song one of the strongest numbers in the show. Nick Weir, Margery Trumble, and senior David Schanzer (appearing in his first Harvard production) deserve kudos...
...travel publications, most of them leaders in their markets. Among those interested were the New York Times Co., Time Inc., Hearst, CBS and ABC. The massive sell-off was accomplished in just 24 hours last week, when CBS purchased the consumer group for $362.5 million, and Australian Press Lord Rupert Murdoch bought the trade publications for $350 million. Although the cash may have sounded middling by the standards of current Wall Street corporate transactions, the sales ranked as the biggest and second-biggest deals in magazine history.

Tophet's devilish irreverence, "He had to close the big dining room up there." Tophet cuts a deal with a young songwriter (Ted Wass), offering fame in exchange for his soul.

...meeting between all the involved parties was originally scheduled for this fall, but had to be postponed because of the death of Lord St. Just, the husband of Lady St. Just, one of the two trustees of the will and a personal friend of Williams...
Although some of the most dramatic fighting yet between strikers and police broke out last week around mines in Yorkshire, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher remained uncompromising. Addressing the Lord Mayor of London's annual banquet, she declared, "This challenge will not succeed. The government will hold firm." The Catholic bishops of England and Wales, however, were sympathetic to the miners in their first statement on the strike. N.U.M. President Arthur Scargill, speaking in the southern Wales town of Aberavon, was cheered wildly by an audience of over 4,000 when he condoned violence on the picket line...
