Anderson, Rashish, Hormats, Ture, Roberts, Jordan. One after another, Ronald Reagan's economic advisers have been emptying out their desks and leaving. Some have left for personal reasons, and others over substantive disputes. But the overall effect has been to underscore an impression of disarray within the Administration's top economic ranks...
...most controversial resignations have been two top Treasury Department supply-siders, Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Treasury Secretary for Economic Policy, who left in February, and Norman Ture, Under Secretary of the Treasury for Tax and Economic Affairs, who departed in June. Neither has disguised his dismay at the drift in Administration economic policy.

...Arden Court, however, a gift to his exuberant troupe, the mix ture is perfect. Set to William Boyce's 1 8th century music, Court pulses with such energy that its precise choreography blurs. A theatrical, sinewy Elie Chaib and the cool, correct Carolyn Adams unleash steps that leave dancers in the audience breathless. All the Taylor signature movements are concentrated here: performers extend into precarious postures, arms and hands arc into orbit, leaps become new formations in midair. Few works in the current dance repertory dis play so much vibrancy and amplitude. The piece contains a message as well...
