...Sweeney Todd, yet more forgiving and affirmative than anything he has written before, Into the Woods is the best show yet from the most creative mind in the musical theater today. It is also that joyous rarity, a work of sophisticated artistic ambition and deep political purpose that affords nonstop pleasure...
...York, and the unimaginable happened: a collapse on a scale never seen before -- no, not even in 1929. Prices went down, down, down, swiftly wiping out an entire year's spectacular gains. "I just can't believe that this is happening," moaned one trader, as he took nonstop sell orders at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette.

...week of "Jim vs. Jerry" dawned, Falwell's team was straining to get PTL under control. That meant an exasperating search for missing PTL records and monies, an emergency drive to raise $7 million by May 31 so PTL could keep functioning, and an almost nonstop talk with PTL creditors and inquisitive federal agents. Besides all that, a group of Bakker sympathizers was trying to undermine Falwell's leadership...
