They were brought together one evening in Harlem 18 months ago at a "black capitalism" meeting sponsored by the Wall Street brokerage firm of Shearson, Hammill.

Patricia Zipprodt-the best costume designer in the business-has managed to add to the trampiness of Meredith by giving her a succession of booker-ish rather than Mod-ish outfits. Peter Hunt's staging is in the best Hot Spot tradition...
