...problems. During the campaign, notes Chicago Economist Robert Genetski, "Reagan did not concentrate on the pain ahead. The necessary economic adjustment was underplayed, and 1981 is going to be rough." The new Administration, as Banker Rohatyn notes, will be "starting off with all the momentum going the wrong way." Instead of inheriting an economy that is expanding smartly, as he might have hoped, Reagan is faced with one that could plunge into recession again sometime this winter.

...alteration, which is minor but telling: a rebalancing of the relationship between Nicholas and the orphan Smike, whom he rescues from an oppressive school in Yorkshire and tries to help. His efforts at this, his successes and his failures, are the core of the play, and the last moments-instead of being quite the cozy denouement arranged by Dickens-become a direct challenge to the audience, "a determination," as former R.S.C. Member Ian McKellen says, "to put laughter and tears into action...
