...Japan's yen and other strong currencies to buy a piece of the U.S. at bargain prices. More important, in the new economic climate of high-energy prices, sluggish international growth and protectionist trade sentiments, the U.S. appears to be the country best suited to ride out the tempest. It also seems the nation least vulnerable to the terrorism that is ravaging Italy and haunting West Germany, or the political unrest that is polarizing Canada and spreading like a plague through the underdeveloped nations. People everywhere are coming to the same conclusion that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe expressed...
...roiled surface of the paintings, "that life first was created, and creativity -the miracle of genesis-is the ultimate concern in de Kooning's difficult, elusive, spontaneous art." The drift of Hess's passage seems to be that de Kooning, at 73, is much more than a tempest: he is either God or, at the very least, a primal cloud of cosmic gas.

...tempest in a c-cup? Definitely, said White House Aide Hamilton Jordan. Nothing more, agreed Egyptian officials. Yet the story filled innumerable inches in major U.S. newspapers.

The effect, for the first time, is very good, and the production takes off from there, building to a satisfying conclusion. In the final analysis, however, Shakespeare himself makes this show a success, for the script of The Tempest contains an abundance of good lines and absurd situations, all delivered in unique blank verse. The Adams/Quincy troupe rallies around the play and finishes triumphantly; despite some bogus effects, this Tempest...
...true test of a play's quality lies in the performances of the supporting cast, and the actors of The Tempest all put a maximal effort into their parts. Particularly noteworthy are Johanna Defenderfer and Eva Simmons as Stephano and Trinculo, a pair of fear-stricken, drunken and very funny sailors. Ralph Zito turns in a macho, manic performance as Ariel, the spirit forced to do Prospero's blading. Joe White, as Sebastian, gets off some well-delivered lines, and Paul Rosta is a perfectly doddering, if one-dimensional, old fool as Gonzalo. The rest of the sailors and nobles...
