...year, according to Perry's calculations, would be consistent with the President's goal of 2% or 3% inflation. Administration officials are reluctant to admit that higher than average unemployment among women, teen-agers and blacks is acceptable to them as long as white adult males-especially Republican-leaning white-collar workers-have jobs. But the implication is there...
...State Street stores have been switching to budget-basement merchandise and catering to lower-income blacks, while North Michigan has been attracting higher-income whites by concentrating on high-fashion goods. But, despite the general adversity in U.S. central cities, North Michigan has prospered for another reason: its fine mix of commercial, residential and recreational properties bring in business. The handsome, tree-lined avenue is the center of an area that accommodates 400,000 white-collar workers in the daytime; at night the area's hotels, steakhouses, theaters and nightclubs lure more crowds.

And if the managerial class is declining...

Last week's premiere featured Anne Jackson and Eli Wallach in Murray Schisgal's The Typists, a talky tragicomedy about two white-collar mediocrities spilling out the empty cup of their lives. The high night of the season should come next month with Jack MacGowran's readings from Beckett; instead of remounting the show on the stark set designed for its off-Broadway run last year, PBS is spectacularly but improbably...
