...diamond bracelet is now $1,620 v. $1,080 in pre-Jenkins times; not surprisingly, the jewelers passed the increases along to the customers. The new $1,270 tag on British Motors' Austin Mini reflects a $48 rise in the old $233 purchase tax. Not forgetting the rich, Jenkins also imposed a new one-year levy on investment income, creating a situation in which a man who earns $48,000 in dividends will have to pay nearly $16,000 in taxes...

...entire approach, Babe emphasizes diverse characteristics of the man as situations arise. Strongest seems a perverse sense of humor: Coriolanus smiles and waves goodbye when he leaves Rome, as if he were leaving for summer camp. Tom Jones is neither larger-than-life, like Olivier (Stratford, 1960), or rich and petulant, like Ian Richardson (Stratford, 1967), and relies heavily on physical presence and quiet emphatic reading of dialogue...
