...there is a set change. Director Babe cast his show expertly and then he cose a designer. As some kind of answer to Chicago's Picasso, quondam director Timothy Mayer has burst upon the world of set design with his impression of a giant grass-hopper with muscular dystrophy. It is supposed to be a cage of pipe that with the help of movable clothes racks and imaginative props can smoothly transform itself into the show's nine sets.

Instead of easing to a planned-for 7½%, growth plunged to a slim 1.2% last year. Corporate profits fell 15%, while unemployment, once virtually nonexistent, has risen to 10% of the labor force, or 99,000 workers. Population growth virtually halted as 12,000 Israelis, in the biggest exodus since the country was founded, emigrated in search of work.
