The best of Follies indicates that the art of the theater, like all art, must renew itself by destroying tradition or by using it in fresh ways. Follies amply demonstrates that the musical?America's single greatest contribution to the history of drama?need not become the exclusive province of the antique dealer or the rock group. In style and substance it can be as flexible as a film, as immediate as a street scene. Lyrics need not be laundry lists...

In any case, many of this year's buyers, whether they prefer U.S. or foreign models, plainly went into the market for the same...
...agencies screen it before test audiences and run a series of checks and quintuple checks that are as elaborate as those for a space shot. Lie detectors, word association, sentence completion and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory are among a few of the methods used. Foote, Cone & Belding lugs rearview projectors to homes to get verdicts. Kenyon & Eckhardt plays TAG (Target Attitudinal Group), a method of extensive indirect questioning...
