...other year, Warren Beatty running for president would be marginally relevant news. People would laugh, brush it aside, and reinitiate their criticism of Pat Buchanan. But Warren, clever little devil that he is, waited until this year to throw his hat into the ring. Next year's presidential race looked like it was going to be the most thuddingly boring event in United States electoral history since--well, the last presidential election.

The bubble theories in these books at the very least provide some counterweight to the sky's-the-limit authors...
...PREMISE: What better way to spend Halloween weekend than feasting your eyes on a play rich in blood and sexual tension? This Shakespearean-era play will add a new flair to the traditional "deal with the devil" plot. Lucifer here will be portrayed as the demonic director of a play within the play, starring none other than the unwitting Dr. Faustus...
