Finally in the public sector, we have of course the free press--a very major assist to the public in its effort to hold the American intelligence community accountable. People like Woodward and Bernstein and others have, of course, performed yeoman service in helping the public keep track of governmental activities. There are, however, potential problems here. When something is made known to the press, it is also made known to a potential enemy. And unlike a court, the press can find you or me guilty through accusation alone...

Once you give up looking for any idea behind a Gilbert and Sullivan performance, you can only hope that there will be individual singers good enough to hold the show together. The Loeb cast is near-perfect--the overall quality of singing is strikingly high--even better, the cast and chorus remain completely intelligible throughout the evening. This is the best insurance possible for a G & S show; as long as Gilbert's words come through, laughs will follow...
