...that neither Greek pan pipes nor Elizabethan sack buts could ever carry a really good Broadway tune. Richard Rodgers' score is overflowing with delightful melodies that are by turn jaunty and sweet. Harnessed to Lorenz Hart' witty and graceful lyrics, they pull the show along at an exhilarating clip, and in between numbers, George Abbott's book provides just the right mix of Shakespearean vaudeville and vaudevillian Shakespeare. Large chunks of iambic pentameter are carelessly tossed across the stage, only to be nimbly undercut by an outrageously topical reference or a wonderfully bad pun.

Flying passengers between cities from Boston to Palm Beach and as far west as Columbus, the pint-size airline earned a profit of $27 million in the first nine months of 1982, while the likes of Pan Am, Eastern and TWA were all showing losses. People's progress is mainly due to the lowest operating costs in the business, an average of 5.3? per seat per mile flown vs. up to 11? for other airlines.
