...leadership and speechmaking a form of decision making. It's hard to imagine such a session with Dole, beyond a tour of the Senate bill hopper. He has said he hasn't seen the movies he attacks. He is allergic to rumination. The emcee for his rally in Biloxi, Mississippi, warmed up the crowd by chanting, "Dole's not dull. Dole's not dull." But Dole, whom G.O.P. guru Ken Duberstein dubbed the Comeback Adult, can counter Clinton's act with an admonition: Sure, the baby boomer may read more, talk more, surf the net, hum the pop charts...

...narrator, blandly written and just as blandly played by Stephen Mailer, is a stand-in for Simon. Unlike the autobiographical trilogy of Brighton Beach Memoirs, Biloxi Blues and Broadway Bound, this play does not give the narrator a penchant for candor. We hear little about how this way of working helped or hurt his craft, satisfied or thwarted his soul. Structurally, the piece owes much to Biloxi: a group in thrall to a dangerous leader, a boot camp that hardens the head more than the heart, a tense scene where some teammate is to be unjustly cast out, a summing...
