Surtax seen as money shaper
Washington officials say the 10 percent import surtax is a bargaining tool in shaping a new world money order favorable to the United States. A devaluation of the dollar by at least 10 percent against major currencies is sought to boost U.S. exports and restrain imports, with the dollar allowed to float after suspending gold convertibility.

Absurdist debut at Trumbull Hill Playhouse stuns locals
Geoffrey Chapman reviews Eugene Ionesco’s The Bald Soprano at Trumbull Hill Playhouse in Shaftsbury. Despite 80 seats and non equity status, the Mount Anthony High School cast directed by Aron Tager delivers a taut, awkwardly funny exploration of bourgeois futility, with standout turns from Boudakian, Bro, Paquin, Sausville and Viereck. The review praises youthful energy, notes staging challenges without a real stage, and concludes the ensemble’s effort leaves viewers bemused yet impressed by thedurch absurdist impact.
