...jobs in a city of just 650,000. The mayor's office reviewed 560 investment projects last year alone. Since 2002, unemployment dropped from 14% to under 5%. Mayor Rafal Dutkiewicz credits low production costs, a good location near the autobahns to Western Europe and a deep pool of educated young workers: local universities graduate 24,000 students each year. To achieve similar results elsewhere, he says, Poland needs better infrastructure and less regulation. "Anything entrepreneurial is still looked upon with suspicion," says Dutkiewicz. "It's crazy! Let people make money...

Kelli O?Hara, as Nellie, has a pretty, pool-clear voice that - in earlier shows like the revival of Pajama Game - impressed me as the closest thing to Mary Martin this side of heaven. But in the role that Martin made famous, she falls a couple of notches short on the adorability meter. Danny Burstein?s Luther Billis could use more Bilko-esque humor, and Matthew Morrison as Lt.

And only about 20% of furloughed pilots are coming back to work, compared with 80% to 90% historically, says Jerry Glass, a Washington-based consultant and president of F&H Solutions Group...
