In den achtziger Jahren hatten die Unternehmen erkannt, dass Umweltprobleme einen Preis haben. Zunehmend weigerten sie sich. Die antikorporative Linke drehte sich reflexartig; Der Earth Day, früher Schneejob, wurde zu einer Gelegenheit, die kapitalistische Gier anzuprangern.

When my brother and me got into performing in the late '40s and early '50s, it was a sensational opportunity to learn from our elders. Every show we played had a dancer, a comic, a juggler, a singer, an acrobat. I came to appreciate virtuosity in all forms of the business.
