Andrews calls Rowse's Shakespeare the "Caliban" edition, after the half-man, half-brute in The Tempest. Maynard Mack, professor emeritus of English at Yale, tends to agree. Rowse's curious hybrid, Mack says, results in a "language that was never spoken by anyone-not by Shakespeare, not by us. People want the real thing. They don't want deodorized versions of the original. They read Shakespeare precisely because they realize that he belongs to a different world and time, and they want to taste and sense that time." Since last week marked the 420th anniversary...
...year marked the centennial of the birth of John Maynard Keynes, and the tonic that jolted the U.S. out of recession was just what the famed economist might have prescribed: easier money, lower taxes and heavy Government spending. Ironically, the chief architect of the recovery had never been known as a disciple of Keynes'. Ronald Reagan came to the White House pledging to balance the budget and trim the size of Government. Instead, his Administration ran up a fiscal 1983 deficit of $195.4 billion, which is more than the entire budget was less than 15 years...
...restrained rush the news into print to avoid being scooped. The Oakland Tribune, however, chose to run that risk when it learned that Mass Murderer Juan Corona had wanted to enter a guilty plea at his long and costly ($5 million) retrial, but was dissuaded by his attorneys.

...there intrusiveness and emphasis on conflict tarnished the reputation of the entire profession. Says Washington Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee: "Television has changed the public's vision of the reporter into someone who is petty and disagreeable, who has taken cynicism an unnecessary extra step." Robert Maynard, editor of the Oakland Tribune, agrees: "When people see a TV person shoving a mike in front of a grieving relative, all of us in the press appear to be boorish and ghoulish." TV executives reply that print can get away with more aggressive behavior because it is gray and abstract rather...
Manufactured by Digital Equipment Corp. of Maynard, Mass., and valued at more than $2.5 million, the VAX is the most precious cargo to be seized during the Reagan Administration's 25-month drive to block the illegal shipment of sophisticated machinery to the Soviet world. But it is not the first such catch. "Operation Exodus," a special task force involving 300 full-time customs agents, has confiscated more than 2,300 illegal shipments worth nearly $150 million since its launching in 1981. Still, the leaks seem to appear as fast as authorities can plug them. In West Germany alone...
