Beyond their prismatic gift for tint and shading the editors of Time have a real talent for discovering anguish. the illustrating example abounds--a teaser for the cover story on "Help--Teachers Can't Teach" tells of one teacher who "suffered a literal case of 'teacher burnout." Returning from lunch one day, he found flames leaping from his classroom window." Another mother despairs, "How do you tell your chid that contrary to what the teacher says, pin and pen are not homonyms?" But virtue lives on in some corners. One teacher "scrubs the desks in her classroom herself and sweeps...
Well, maybe. Though there are an estimated 3,200 EVs of one kind or another in use today in the U.S., a number of problems remain. Not the least is that the electric car's image is still an ancient sepia-tint photograph, a little mildewed and smelling of old lace. To hot young engineers in Detroit-where the action nowadays is in computerized fuel injection, stratified charge engines and other technologies for saving gasoline-electrics are a scientific diversion.

A bright flat tint of glamor clings to too many of Meyerowitz's pictures, a glamor that, in the commissioned St. Louis work, can verge on meretriciousness...
Newton-John aside, it is the special effects which do the most damage to an otherwise reasonable show. On the stage, nobody can get away with canned fant asies like the one Frenchy (Didi Conn) has in the malt shop after she has managed to tint her hair pink in beauty school. Having left Rydell High to learn how to shampoo and rinse, Frenchy is having one of those adolescent crises as to whether or not she has made the right decision by leaving school. Needless to say, her problem is hardly assuaged by a host of women with silver...
