...wouldn't want to repeat the '60s. Students today feel burdened by the '60s, that they have something to live up to. The Baby Boomers are like the pig in the python, they'll be a big lump at every stage...

Although most of the reviews had been scathing -- particularly about the superannuated kick line of high school girls, cumbersomely elaborate sets and inadvertently hilarious dance number about slaughtering a pig -- a number of critics nonetheless expected the show to find an audience and thrive. That was what had happened, despite savage reviews from London critics, during a four- week British trial run at the Stratford-upon-Avon home of the co-producer, the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Popular demand not only spurred local pig production but, with Guangdong merchants paying more than twice the state-controlled price of 2.80 yuan per kg (35 cents per lb.) for pork in Hunan, also began to siphon off the output of pig farms in the neighboring province. As a result, the supply of pork decreased dramatically in Hunan's state-subsidized markets...
