...Irma Urilla) from the palace of Sarastro (Ulrik Cold). Sarastro, once the Queen's husband, is dabbling in some dark arts that turn out to be nothing more mysterious than the rites of Freemasonry. Tamino is aided in his quest by a forester named Papageno (Hakan Hagegard), whose robust cowardice at times of stress provides comedy relief. The two men, sensing they have been duped by the Queen of the Night, give themselves over to Sarastro's trial of honor. Their reward is true love: Tamino is immediately enamored of Pamina, Papageno swept away by a fey creature...
...captured in newsreel footage of a bankrupt Dust Bowl farmer surveying his parched land and saying, "I'd like to see rain, I mean, I have seen it. I'd like to have my son--he's eight years old--see it." As a counterpoint to this hopelessness a robust Joe Louis is shown lustily chopping wood in his training camp and making sanguine predictions about his upcoming bout with Max Schmelling...

A robust $1.02 billion rise in consumer credit in July−the highest such increase in eleven months−suggested that Americans are regaining their willingness to borrow in order to buy major appliances and other big-ticket items. One disquieting note: corporations had scaled back their 1975 capital spending plans by $730 million between...
...reason for the high costs: the schools' expenses are up, while their income, because of the depressed economy, is down. Says Richard W. Lyman, president of Stanford University (cost: $5,530): "Institutions like Stanford have passed from an era of robust financial growth to one of determined and systematic belt tightening." Unfortunately, every time the colleges pull in another notch, they further put the squeeze on students and families-who now face bills of $10,000 to $25,000 to send a student through four years of college...
