...After having the weekend to contemplate the Clinton administration's debut as a player in the world crude markets, oil traders heard the sound of spigots and responded just as Bill, Al and the Eurozone had hoped. Benchmark Brent crude oil for November delivery fell by 95 cents to $30.30 per barrel in London, and even briefly hit $29.90 - the lowest intra-day level since...
...Pulitzer Prize-winning Glengarry Glen Ross. But don't expect strict realism, or the rapid-fire tough talk for which Mamet is known. Mamet originally wrote the play in 1976 as a radio play for National Public Radio, not for the stage. But director Stephen Benson, making his debut with the Pet Brick Players, takes up the challenge.

A straight-ahead, unadorned production precludes any embarrassingly groovy anachronisms and lets the band get down to business, namely about 30 minutes of some of the best rocking blues ever committed to vinyl. The grooves are deep, and the band simply smokes: That's Ry Cooder on guitar, and he's not even playing lead; meanwhile, Taj sounds like he's trying to blow his entire six-foot-four frame...
