When I met him, McCain had been softened up by lunch with constituents in the Senate dining room. But he steered every question back to Bosnia. The closest we got was the burden of sitting in judgment. Here's a man running for President; every minute of airtime is worth a hundred town-hall meetings. But what was he saying?

Enough to watch the talented Zoe Wanamaker as a very human, almost waifish Electra, buried in a gigantic overcoat, like the mantle of fate that impels this timeless play...
