This is not to say that Miller will succeed. He and Carter are engaged in the trickiest and riskiest of all economic maneuvers: an attempt to slow a surging but vulnerable economy just enough so that inflation gradually subsides, but not so much as to sink the nation into a recession. Administration officials refer to this as guiding the economy to a "soft landing" from its too-rapid pace in the quarter just ended.

The indefatigable Composer-Director-Impresario Gian Carlo Menotti was at it again, in what could be the greatest -and riskiest-romance of his long career in music and the performing arts: launching an American version of Italy's Spoleto Festival in Charleston, S.C. Menotti created the original festival in June 1958, transforming the quiet old Umbrian hill town of Spoleto into an international center of the arts...
