...Congress indicated that an attempt to get the overall jobless rate down to 3% within 18 months would push inflation back up to "a 12% to 13% annual rate" initially, and even more later on.

Brandeis is to be commended for mounting a production so promptly, so expertly. (Moonchildren originated at Washington's Arena Stage last fall and then died in February after two weeks on Broadway.) A few members of Peter Sander's cast are a bit too old to make convincing...
