...opening night last Tuesday, most of the Tufts players seemed bent more on obscuring Betti's genius than on revealing it. Much of the trouble must no doubt be attributed to the inevitable pressures of summer stock on a small, young, and inexperienced company; the relentless demand for an entire new production each week cannot help but produce some shaky premieres, with cues missed and whole speeches being dropped right and left. One had the sense of watching a late rehearsal rather than an actual performance, in fact, and it is therefore particularly difficult to pass judgment...
...Black Thursday, 1929, the day the stock market collapsed, Wall Street was a scene of chaos, and many a suddenly paupered stockholder felt that the end of the world had come. One among them had a different thought; he dashed off to a friend's studio to make a lithograph of the disastrous scene: the great, gloomy canyon, the dashing crowds and distraught faces.

They require so many different specialty steels that they cannot stock all of them, will be in a bad way if warehouses run short of a few kinds. Automakers are in a similar fix. They have stored sufficient steel to run well into the 1960 model year-unless a supplier of some critical component has miscalculated and runs out of steel. Chrysler, which will start producing its 1960 models in mid-August, has a big enough stockpile to roll through mid-November. Ford (which makes 40% of its own steel...
