...heard in this debate would seem to do more harm than good for all involved. "A production belongs to its director," I've been told. "He or she has the right to make whatever changes are necessary to create a unified vision."

Oddly enough, Buchanan might never get the chance. The Reform Party functions like a flophouse for political gypsies and social outcasts, and no two members can agree on the time of day. Jesse Ventura was promoting Donald Trump...
