...Seldom has any IMF decision been so broadly controversial. The total U.S. share of the amount to be added to the fund would be $8.4 billion. The Reagan Administration, which last summer showed no enthusiasm for a sizable increase, has swung around and now strongly favors it. Treasury Secretary Donald Regan and other top officials are less sanguine than before that the world financial system can withstand major defaults from the debt-heavy developing world. But last week's proposals will face tough going in the U.S. Congress...
...energies. Shows like 42nd Street and Sophisticated Ladies prove that musicals can succeed with only a slight plot or none at all. In fact, Tune's own Tony award winning Nine succeeds not because of an extemely engrossing story (its ending appears too manufactured), but because it seldom bores its audience.

Football players who choose Cool Hand Luke as a role model seldom carry teams to the Super Bowl, but this is a rare time in Washington, where the Redskins had not boasted a world championship for 40 years. The players, Hogs (offensive linemen) and Smurfs (miniature receivers) alike, reacted as calmly as anyone who has been personally welcomed home by the President of the United States, though citizens...
