...been a night of misery," David Edelman '83, vice president of the Harvard-Radcliffe Democratic Club, said as he watched the returns come in with three other club members in a box decorated with green and white ribbons. By 10 p.m., the young Democrats were looping the banners around their necks...
From the start, the conference organizers were determined to keep to the middle of the road and not fire up the conservatives, who were busy holding press conferences denouncing the meeting. Marian Wright Edelman, director of the Children's Defense Fund, told the delegates: "The issue is not whether government interferes; it already does.

Herbert Edelman, no stranger to Simon's work--he appeared most recently as Walter Matthau's brother in the movie California Suite--handles Leo's comic scenes with expertise, though he tends to rush through his serious speeches. Only Jerry Orbach is completely and consistently excellent, especially in his physical gestures. At one point, he strokes his dead wife's picture as tenderly as if he were touching the woman herself--then jerks his hand away to hide the private gesture from his brother. Whether indulging in outrageous facial clowning, or making his voice crack with pain...
