...being brought back prematurely or without much point. Nine, despite winning five Tonys in 1982, was a dull show then, and it's a dull show now. The main achievement of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, a revival of Terrence McNally's sentimental two-hander starring Stanley Tucci and Edie Falco, seems to have been to break up Tucci's marriage. (The show is closed, but he and Falco, who played a nude scene together, are now tabloid fodder.) Ma Rainey's Black Bottom was the first play, and still one of the best, in August Wilson...

He predicts a worldwide recession will begin this year...

Byron Wien, chief U.S. market strategist at Morgan Stanley, says investors who wait for a stock pullback will be disappointed. "The economy has done remarkably well in the face of high oil prices, a cold winter and the geopolitical concerns," he says. "Take those away, and it should really improve." He predicts that the market will rise...
