There is plenty of blame to be shared in this three-ring tax fiasco. The White House staff blames Ways and Means Chairman Al Ullman for letting his committee spin out of control and Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal for ineffective and halfhearted lobbying. The Treasury Department blames Ullman for bending meekly with shifting political breezes and the White House staff for not paying attention to the changes in committee sentiment. Ullman mostly blames the White House staff and the President. "Carter has a singular view of things and says he always wants the ideal and the ultimate," complains Ullman...

Ullman, who briefed Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal on the bleak prospects for the President's bill over breakfast last week, advocates only $15 billion...
Because every element of this production sizzles, from maestro/pianist Dan Ullman's orchestra to Phyllis Zinicola's tasteful, evocative costumes, individual details are harder to cite than they would be in a lesser show: What is outstanding in a production in which everything stands out? Cindy Ruskin's multi-level set is a model of attractive, well-balanced simplicity (and of course it only seems simple; a set like this must have required tremendous work to devise and build), with carry-on pieces of furniture kept to a minimum. This, combined with highly efficient stagehands, results in scene changes that...
