...stage he affects the same position, demeanor, voice and gestures until his idiosyncrasies become grating and tiresome. Pericles, played by Ben Halley Jr. mimics a stiff operatic James Earl Jones, a stunning figure with fine diction, but his manner is too rigidly classical and neither dramatic nor human. Sandra Shipley as Thaisa plays her role with quiet understanding and control. With only a few lines, she surmounts Pericles as the family's core. Jeannie Affelder '83 as Marina speaks and moves with soulless uniformity, relieved only by her song, which is sweet and sonorous. Other high points include Paul Redford...

They respect Volcker for warning of the growing problem of international debt and for his tough anti-inflation stand.
