...when performed, the acting proves shallow. With so many characters, the cast cannot engage with any particular one. This was reflected in Friday’s performance. Adam, played by Samson Kohansky, was by far the best performer of the night. His success was not only due to his own talent, but also to his character, the most developed and only constant one in the play. Kohansky, a Brandeis senior, gave a strong performance, holding the play together while several other cast members were stumbling over their lines...
...about his stance in favor of the Iraq invasion and the subsequent military buildup. Instead, he framed it as a test of national resolve, and one that is of historic proportion. "We must act boldly and with confidence that history has not yet assigned us a challenge that we cannot meet successfully," he said. "Though we regret the mistakes we have made in this war, they must not cause us self-doubt. We must learn from them, as Americans have always learned from our mistakes, and fight smarter and harder.

No timeline has yet been set as to when - or if - such a step...
...actually spending on it. Several outside advisers said the DNC has been slow to craft religious-outreach strategies in key states for 2008. While Pacific Islanders and rural Americans and seniors can easily find places on the DNC website to join the party's activities, faith-minded voters still cannot. And Dean, while eager to meet with religious constituencies, is still his own worst enemy when he appears on The 700 Club to explain that Democrats "have an enormous amount in common with the Christian community," as though there were no Democrats in the Christian community...
