Representative Thomas P. O'Neill Jr., the current Majority Leader of the House and very probably its next Speaker, also deserves particular mention. His Republican opponent has distinguished himself primarily by launching a thinly-disguised racist appeal for anti-busing votes. O'Neill should perhaps curb his foreign travel at the government's expense and pay more attention to the economic needs of his district, but on the basis of his record as Majority Leader, he will be a progressive Speaker of the House...
Like any musical, and in particular any musical revue, the plot and concept of the show are quite weak, if you're the type who demands from a musical some correspondence with social and economic realities. The show begins in the 1970s on a street corner in Harlem, as several old-timers carrying a trunk that contains stage props and costumes from the golden years of the Harlem Renaissance are relieved of their burden by a few admiring bystanders.

You have an audience every week, lasting about an hour. She sometimes floors you-did floor me very early in my premiership-by referring to a Cabinet committee paper that...
...trade. A genuine big bopper is something on the order of The Godfather, The Exorcist, The Sting or, to name the film most like Kong, Jaws. It should generate domestic grosses of $50 million to $100 million and, almost as important, a public excitement that spreads from the particular film to movies in general...
