...Show, the latter has a real flair for writing strong, confrontational scenes--brisk, needling, well shaped--and the former stages them with coolly concentrated intensity. And the cast is terrific.

Apparently they have annoyed you, too, as following missives demonstrate. They represent just a few of the sacks of mail pouring into the Norma Knows Department of The Harvard Crimson. (P.S.
