...Your wheel of blame was missing a crucial player: Ayn Rand. She was former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's free-market guru. Like President George W. Bush, Greenspan's belief in free markets blinded him to the dangers inherent in the subprime-mortgage market. How else can one explain his failure to respond to early and repeated warnings from the late Edward Gramlich, a member of the Fed board who recognized the dangers and addressed the matter (perhaps in frustration) last year in his book Subprime Mortgages: America's Latest Boom and Bust?

"Not in a thousand years," proclaimed the white leader, Ian Smith. That...
...Pinter’s witty dialogue, she sounds too rehearsed and overly polished, which takes away from the natural quality the character might have had. Even through long stretches of silence, Renaud succeeds at making her character known. Her Kate is both delicate and forceful, and this range is crucial when she’s the object of the play’s conflict. The actors also use silence and dramatic pauses to their advantage, adding subtext to the clever banter. For a show that demands such immediacy, the Adams House Pool Theatre is an ideal venue. The audience...
