...seems to have matured--his A Life in the Theatre, currently running at the real off-Broadway, in Greenwich Village, is a marvelous work, full of wit and the kind of charm only a developed writer can muster. But American Buffalo is clearly from Mamet's earlier, less developed phase. Walter Kerr succinctly described it as "a play in search of a plot." In the case of this production, a solid cast is largely wasted in a fruitless theatrical exercise...
...President faces a particularly rough time in trying to impose reforms on business. There is little likelihood that Congress will accept the White House proposal to phase out the Domestic International Sales Corporations (DISC) program, under which companies can defer taxes on some of the profits they earn by exporting, or that it will end deferral of U.S. taxes on corporate profits earned and reinvested abroad. The legislators are against anything that might put U.S. businessmen at a disadvantage with their European and Japanese competitors.

...four years ago to lower international tariff walls, the so-called Tokyo Round talks have proceeded at a snail's pace-mostly as a result of U.S. preoccupation with Watergate, the Viet Nam pullout and the 1976 presidential elections.

The two-phase elections, however, will not necessarily produce like results. Referring to Marchais's intransigence, a Socialist leader last week sized up the prospects. "If there is no electoral accord," said he, "the left will lose...
Landry's wit, dry and ironic, is saved for sportswriters and for speaking engagements that help the Cowboys' thoroughgoing public relations campaign. The same sense of detail that marks computerized scouting can be found in every phase of the Cowboy operation. The N.F.L.'s largest radio network, 133 stations, beams Cowboy games from Key West, Fla., to Thousand Oaks, Calif. A weekly newspaper published by the club has a lavish freebie list?including college trainers, so that prospects hanging around waiting for the whirlpool will have the Cowboys to read about...
