This week, when Plenty opens at Broadway's Plymouth Theater, there will doubtless be more gushing. Though the play has flaws, Nelligan seemingly has none. Her performance is so unique, mesmerizing and shattering at the same time, that it is hard to imagine anyone else in the role. She plays Susan Traherne, who as a girl of 17 was dropped behind German lines in France to work as a British courier. The character is never able to recapture the purity of her wartime zeal. As the play follows her through the next 20 years, shifting backward and forward through...
...even certain that Volcker will be chairman of the Fed beyond next August, when his term expires. Should Reagan choose to reappoint him, Volcker would be faced with a big decision. The chairman of the world's richest central bank makes only $60,663 a year; he could doubtless command at least $500,000 if he left. It is almost ironic, but the banker who moves billions could use the money. A man of limited personal means, he lives in spartan $394-a-month bachelor digs in Washington during the week.

It indicates, too, the strengths and weaknesses he will carry into the third and fourth years of his term and doubtless into a second term, if he chooses to run and is reelected. For the White House has changed Reagan less than any other occupant in recent memory...
...country vision, and he must animate his Administration with purposes larger than the enjoyment of office. A visible zest for the job is perfectly legal, even desirable. But the love of the job can contribute to a certain blurring of the national interest and the personal interest. F.D.R. doubtless convinced himself in 1940 that it was for the good of the nation and the world that he should be the first three-term President. It would be refreshing some time to hear a politician admit he wanted to be President simply because it is the top job in his business...
