...itself, for in the long run he never saw only the dark side of man-or woman. He retired to Stratford around 1611, his sense of evil seemingly muted, as is suggested by the enchanted isles, fairy-tale plots, masques and marvels of the last plays. For his final comment on man's existence in The Tempest (1611), Shakespeare returned instinctively to the stage with its quality of make-believe...

But for many other companies, business had never been so good - or at least, so big. With first-quarter reports from some 400 of the biggest U.S. companies in by last week, earnings on the average were up 6%.
