...strong U.S. recovery can do much to wipe out the last vestiges of the 1974-75 world recession by providing a growing market for other countries' exports. The envy because the world economy sorely needs such help; outside the U.S., most industrial countries have managed only an uneven, even perilously shaky recovery...
...More uneven than the music, the choreography in the first act often makes the songs drag. Too often the tribe members crawl like insects about the stage, and they seem out of syncopation in several numbers. By the second act, their timing improves remarkably; "3500's" dancers rival the Rockettes inuvovgfination.

Davis, who won his Pulitzer for The Problem of Slavery...
