...speech in San Antonio last week, Negroponte's top deputy, Michael Hayden, declared that an office largely under Negroponte's control - the National Counterterrorism Center, or NCTC - was now in charge of dictating the role other agencies will play in terror analysis. Hayden said too many agencies were in the analysis business and that the NCTC, like a team captain," will make these calls for the entire IC [intelligence community]." This may seem like bureaucratic minutiae, but it reflects an important struggle over a key aspect of American intelligence. Even though some diminishment of the CIA was all but guaranteed...

That, along with the stark, almost abstract staging by director Rufus Norris, gives this London import (an adaptation of the Danish film The Celebration) the hollow, haunted feel of Samuel Beckett, not Arthur Miller. With a strong American cast (Julianna Margulies and Michael Hayden, above), it's the take-no-prisoners drama of the Broadway season...
