...education or training to fill them. After any President has been in office three years, it is plain who the lucky ones are, and the hungry outsiders naturally begin to grumble, agitate, fire bitter charges of inefficiency and graft. Magloire's good friend, Chief of Police Marcaisse Prosper, has provided an unfortunate focus for criticism. The juiciest current gossip of Haiti concerns Prosper's new hilltop home in fashionable Petionville, big as a U.S. small-city high school, lavishly furnished by Manhattan's W. & J. Sloane. The prosperous Prosper's salary is $350 a month...
...scenario, freely adapted from a short play by Prosper Merimee, is just the sort Renoir likes - a nice, loose-fitting smock, with plenty of frayed places for inspiration to stitch up at leisure. In The Golden Coach, as in The River, he has stitched (with the help of his nephew Claude Renoir, who supervised the photography in both pictures) a Joseph's coat of heart-catching colors. The colors weave and flow in a rhythm that carries one image vigorously into the next. The flow is swept along, too, by the apt and fetching musical score of Antonio Vivaldi...
...America, said the President, no one group can really prosper unless all Americans prosper.

And this Administration is committed to help...
Until a close-cropped nurse and a middle-aged baritone premiered a new musical a few blocks up the street, Kiss Me, Kate was Broadway's brightest show in late '48. But while Kate continued to prosper, the critics were no longer so enchanted with its blend of Elizabethan and backstage comedy. The show, they carped, had none of Rogers and Hammerstein's poignancy, bitter-sweet romance, or delicacy...
...foreign producers are willing to take the gambles American producers accept as a matter of course. The constantly changing demands of U.S. consumers can only be met by investment in new products and more efficient production methods that will lower prices. Foreign producers willing to meet such terms prosper, tariffs or no. British auto producers, for example, have shrewdly pushed sales of sport cars, something Americans wanted but did not have; last year they sold 31,243 cars in the U.S., far more than any other foreign country. The big lesson producers abroad must learn is that the main cause...
