...broad look at societies from the Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia to the blacks of Albany, N.Y., Gilder has produced a 306-page ode to the economic and moral benefits of unfettered capitalism. Some Reaganauts expect Wealth and Poverty to become a classic of supply-side economics, the school of thought that believes Government policy should focus more on helping private enterprise boost the output of goods and services...
...world. Stories about Iran and their plight were torn out of magazines, including TIME and Newsweek, that were circulated to the prisoners, but the guards did not censor the tables of contents, so the hostages could tell what stories were missing.

Prisoner is his ode to New York City, a typical Simon comedy that catalogues the neurotic lives of Mel (Michael Achtman) and Edna (Sarah McPhee) Edison: boy lives with girl, boy loses job, girl gets job, boy has breakdown, boy gets girl. Assaulted by noisy cars, barking dogs, loud neighbors, and Valium that doesn't work, Mel and Edna step into the ring with The City and survive, bruised and battered but still whole--and still suffering. As Mel asks...
