With only piano, harp and bass at his disposal, musical director and piantist Dan Ullman achieves a surprising spectrum of moods with the score. Except for the touching ballad "Try to Remember," the songs are musically undistinguished. Still, the musical numbers are the strong points of the show. Matt and Luisa's closing duet, staged with admirable restraint, nearly redeems the dialogue that precedes it--and it would completely if Schmidt and Jones didn't feel obligated to insert El Gallo at the end with another substanceless speech...
...common stocks or real estate. Also, the elimination of the capital gains break might do more to restrict the flow of funds available for much-needed business expansion than the more generous investment tax credits, and new break on dividends would do to increase new investments. Democrat Al Ullman, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, opposes reductions in capital gains-and that is just one indication of the big bruising battle that lies ahead...

B.O.T. pays authors or their estates 10% of its rental fee and calls its service, not immodestly, "the thinking...
...scrutiny its scope deserves. Carter says he hopes to get the jobs program passed "as soon as possible." But no part will be enacted before 1978, and the full program would not go into effect until 1981. Congressional reaction has been cautious, with a variety of quibbles. Al Ullman, House Ways and Means chairman, objects to putting the working poor on welfare because it could have a bad psychological effect. He also wants to base payments on income alone, not on the size of a family. Welfare families, he feels, should not be encouraged to have more children...
