...Politburo members, only Leonid Brezhnev was moved to acknowledge "cordial gratitude" to Kosygin. Even that faint praise came after international surprise over Kosygin's unceremonious exit from power. Last week news of Kosygin's death of a heart attack in the Kremlin hospital was treated in more generous fashion.

...theater enthusiast from abroad, it often seems that there is far less in London to try the patience and a lot more to be generous about. In the West End -London's theatrical main stem and mainstream-Tom Courtenay and Freddie Jones are making their way deftly through an adept and affectionate comedy called The Dresser, concerning the trials of a third-rate classical actor on a perpetual tour of the provinces. Practically next door is a new Alan Ayckbourn roundelay called Taking Steps, an alternately hilarious and melancholy meditation on adulteries among the middle classes. The West...
