Elizabeth Dole, Federal Trade Commissioner,
Addresses The National Association of Home Builders

January 21, 1979 â€œâ€¦.for too many Americans, the dream home has turned into a nightmare. You know as well as I do that as families move into their own little Garden of Eden, more and more are finding the apple full of worms. As a result, some homebuyers believe they are being bilked for thousands of dollars, and they are expressing not only anguish but outrage. Shoddy building practices can be concealed from many purchasers who cannot be expected to have the technical expertise to evaluate the structural soundness of a home or the quality of electrical, plumbing, or air conditioning systemsâ€¦The patience of the American consumer is rapidly running out. â€¦Consumers are demanding more protection from the government, not LESS. The consumer movement is no longer made up of small bands of activists with no troops standing behind them; the consumer movement is now part of our culture â€“ it embraces every one of us. And it will not be denied over an issue so fundamental as decent housingâ€¦

Two brothers meet up after a long period apart and unravel family problems. Still, in comparison with these transatlantic imports, much of the west end seemed dull, even a revival of oscar wildes lady windermeres fan, which starred vanessa redgrave paired with her own daughter, joely richardson, as an onstage mother and daughter. West end long-running hits of yesteryear, anthony shaffers sleuth (1970s) http://generalneighbor.com/themes/cam/blackberry-spy-software-gratis.html and denise deegans daisy pulls it off (1980s), were dusted down to contrasting, but not devastating, effect. Sleuth, with peter bowles adding to his gallery of smooth rogues, was given a chic, antiseptic setting and a patina of homoeroticism that would have surprised original audiences; Daisy, on the other hand, was just the same old jolly hockey sticks schoolgirl fun, with nothing much new to say to anyone.
