Reforming this mess, even if there is a genuine will to do so, is hard to achieve in the U.S. because politics is decentralized, and the lobbyists...
...Angeles. As a girl in Houston, Miller danced to support her mother. In Hollywood she was a highenergy, if less than first-rank, musical star. On Broadway she got a chance to take center stage in her 50s, co-starring with Mickey Rooney in the 1979 musical Sugar Babies, which ran for nearly three years...
