...college intern, I'm about as unimportant as they come, no matter where I work. Some of my co-workers are quite influential--a whole crowd of them just got named among the city's top journalists by Washingtonian Magazine--but one couldn't logically make a blanket statement about the whole bureau. Nevertheless, public-relations firms call my Journal voicemail nonstop when I'm covering a story. Three separate CEO's called--on their own initiative--to comment on the Internet commerce framework...
...damages, document disclosure and government oversight of tobacco products. The first signs of serious trouble struck April 21, when Manhattan attorney Herbert Wachtell, leading the squadron of tobacco-company lawyers, demanded, "There has to be an end to the vilification."

Lincoln appears briefly in his theater seat in the balcony, but the subject of the play is the assassin, not the victim. Afterwards, the audience sees Booth curled up with a bottle of wine and an old blanket. His pain and confusion is almost pitiable, yet McNeely's performance was also chilling enough to make the audience feel guilty for sympathizing with an assassin. Juliene James '00 appears onstage with him as The Balladeer, a narrator of sorts who comments on and interacts with the characters, falling somewhere in between Jiminy Cricket and a Greek chorus. She cuts into Booth...
