More successful is Laura Rogerson as Linda, flouncing around the stage in her pajamas, hurling insults and lapsing into romatic reverie. Rogerson exhibits superb comic timing and movement, but she, too is overly restrained. We cannot understand her rebelliousness without a deeper glimpse into her frustration and her innate childishness...
Elvis has a deeper reservoir of hatred and bitterness than anyone in popular music, or even the Viet Cong, driving him, they say, to compose madly into the night, compressing his rage into song after song, until this: music with a pulse sustained by passion and fear, energy driven by emotion, not (hello Mick Jagger) cocaine. And the tunes deliver. The glory of Get Happy!! is that Elvis has composed 18 fresh, interesting, accessible but not uncomplicated melodies, and has, with true artistry, wedded their substance perfectly to their sound.

...Administration already has ost its perhaps disingenuous hope for a bipartisan economic policy. A dozen Republican Senators turned out for a midweek press conference, at which they insisted that the budget must be balanced entirely through reductions in spending, with no revenue-raising measures. They want spending cuts much deeper than any that Carter will propose. Senator William Roth of Delaware has collected 46 signatures-including those of nine Democrats-on a resolution to limit federal spending to 21% of the gross national product (the dollar value of the nation's total production of goods and services). That would...
