...Nonetheless, even by recent standards, Enron is a gamble. With 22 actors, it has a much larger cast than the typical play. It has numerous sets, a handful of musical numbers and three lurking, red-eyed velociraptors to represent Enron's hidden debt, among other props. The play has gotten rave reviews in London, and the director Rupert Goold, who is staying with the Broadway production, won London's Evening Standard award for best director. But the producers decided to replace the cast when they brought the play to New York. All that has driven up the budget...

...woman at the other end of the line, conservative fulminator Ann Coulter, is among Breitbart's staunchest allies, and they soon are engaged in a spirited attack on liberals.

A bigger problem, admits one tourism official, is the cannabis that grows in abundance in Aceh's hills and unerringly finds its way to beaches where foreign surfers congregate...
...Republican stonewall had its roots in a memo that William Kristol wrote in 1993, urging Republicans not to cooperate in any way with Bill Clinton on health care because, among other things, the plan represented "a serious political threat to the Republican Party." In other words, it would make Clinton and the Democrats more popular. Kristol's strategy succeeded in 1994, when Republicans won control of the House and Senate - but it failed in 2010, although Republicans, misled by momentary anti-reform polls that mostly reflect public confusion, seem intent on pushing "repeal."
