...There are already signs that the Soviet military-industrial complex may be feeling the squeeze. Among the 25 principal classes of armament, production has declined in 13 between 1977 and 1981. That drop may indicate that the Kremlin has built its arsenal up to strength. But it could also reflect the stagnation in the civilian economy, as producers fail to supply quality steel and as bottlenecks in rail transport hold up vital raw materials needed by defense contracts...
Kury's characters become the central focus of the film, while the background tends to reflect the mood or mindset of the principles. When Lena and Madeline spend a day exploring Lyon for a site to start their dress shop, Lyon looks like a muted painting with pastel buildings and pale skies, invoking the almost dreamlike quality of the day. When Lena's child gets left behind during the excursion, the audience is thrust back into the really of material responsibility as Lena and Madeline pace around the seemingly stark interior of Lena's home.

...Presidential candidate, the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, has gone so far as to argue--in a debate last month at the Kennedy School--that cuts in the Reagan Administration's education budgets over the last three years are directly responsible for the ballooning foreign trade deficit.

It seems that the HRDC Board and Robert Brustein, who, as director of the Loeb Drama Center, has an important vote, have forgotten that good theatre and popular theatre are not necessarily mutually exclusive...
...attend the local gay students group. In justifying its expulsion of Matthews, the military maintained that she could be a lesbian, but she couldn't be a lesbian soldier. According to the military, gay people make discipline and recruitment difficult. This past spring a military spokes-person at Harvard reflected this sentiment with "homosexuals make other people uncomfortable." Another officer has been quoted as saying that "we don't necessarily have to reflect the values of society." In other words equal access, individual liberty, and rationality are not necessarily values the armed forces must accept...
