CERTAINLY, a student must be particularly aggressive in order to undertake a Special Concentration, so the warnings are reasonable. The fallacy is that maintaining such a high level of energy should be the only way to succeed in an alternative intellectual pursuit. This appears two only became Special Concentrations are the only way to achieve academic independence at Harvard...
Reagan's political strategy will succeed only if the public sees tangible evidence that his on-the-mend optimism is warranted. But even if the economy rebounds strongly, the country will still face staggering deficits. Indeed, a sudden and too robust economic revival could strangle itself by pushing interest rates back up as the Government and industries compete for loans. This concern was echoed last week in an unusually forceful report by the Congressional Budget Office.

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. Tune's choreography in that show is consistently exciting, as are the costumes and set. My One and Only possesses a stylish set as well. At times, it also reveals Tune's (or Sellars's, or Walsh's) flair. Tune and Twiggy...
