...conveys much less anger than most predecessors, and rather more romance. Her relationship with manager-paramour Herbie (Peter Riegert) is convincingly sexy, which atones for the mediocrity of Riegert's singing. In contrast to the battleship that Daly made of the role, Midler is devastated, almost fragile, when her younger daughter June elopes and breaks up the family vaudeville...
Another Smith innovation: "creativity teams." These relatively small groups of 4,000 comprise younger managers across the company in more than 300 areas, from flywheels to door handles, and are charged with coming up with new ways of thinking about such things as prices, quality and worldwide purchasing. Says Bob Burkhart, a senior purchasing executive delegated by Smith to oversee the creativity groups: "Whenever we used to see a roadblock, we'd hide, duck or find a way to do other things and not get beat up.

Separation's true climax comes early, with the children of everyone Paul took in denouncing the parents, as if their charity were a deliberate affront to the younger generation. Here Guare hilariously captures the irate solipsism of overprivileged adolescence. After that, though, he has nowhere to go, except toward liberal piety, which does not suit his rare comic gift. Still, two good acts are rare these days. It's probably ungrateful to expect more...
