Better coordinated and disciplined than in some of its previous concerts, the HRC played with feeling, alternating between restraint and considerable power. Conductor James Yannatos brought out the talent in the HRO, combining the roles of the individual instruments with the orchestra as a whole. The dreamy forest of Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, the lightness of Saint-Saens's Piano Concerto No. 2 and the Bohemian flavor of Dvorak's Symphony No. 8 in G were all pleasing to the ear and mind. The technical performance of the musicians--particularly Roy Kogan's solo...
...tremulous colors of the forest and the unmuted strings suggested the dance of the faun. Particularly impressive were the excitement and fullness which the whole orchestra achieved as it suggested the faun's anxious chase of the nymphs.

Former Labor Premier Yitzhak Rabin makes virtually the same point...
Okun's plan was seriously discussed by the Carter Administration. At first, Charles Schultze, chief presidential economic adviser, wanted to adopt it. But then the Business Roundtable, which is composed of corporate chief executives, denounced it as unworkable, and labor leaders argued that it placed unfair restraint on collective bargaining. Thomas G. Moore, a senior fellow at Stanford's conservative Hoover Institute, dismisses both TIP plans as "gimmicks." Says he: "They are just a hidden form of wage and price controls, pure and simple." Barry Bosworth, President Carter's chief of the Council on Wage and Price Stability, complains that...
