...less famous than its Second City rival, the Steppenwolf, but the Goodman Theatre is one of America's finest, most adventurous regional companies. Under artistic director Robert Falls, it has boosted the careers of such playwrights as Mary Zimmerman (The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci) and Rebecca Gilman (Spinning into Butter), and presented landmark revivals such as the 1999 Tony Award-winning Death of a Salesman, starring Brian Dennehy.

They had enjoyed the eight-year intersection of Hollywood and politics. They seemed glad that it was good...

So who better to announce it than this country's poet laureate of simile? It's not just a game. Sports are analogies for all our finest hopes and truest dreams.
