Besides stricter conservation, one vital policy for the U.S. is to boost the use of coal and the production of syntheic fuels, including shale oil. The U.S. could be producing as much as 6 million bbl. of "synfuels" a day by 1990, equal to about 75% of all current imports.

The hero's artistic associates are scabrous caricatures of past Fosse collaborators. Through a series of gritty backstage scenes and razor-sharp dance numbers, these players dramatize all the tensions, hard work and neuroses of idiosyncratic, inveterate show people.
