Arrogance seems to have made Gotti careless. In two previous trials, prosecutors relied heavily on tapes made from bugs planted in the Ravenite club, his main Manhattan base. They had also recorded conversations from his neighborhood headquarters, the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club, across the East River in Queens. Although the tapes were so noisy and scratchy that jurors had great difficulty deciphering the dialogue, Gotti obviously knew that his haunts were wired.

And Pachter is not alone among reviewers in his concerns about the responsibilities and repercussions of cross-casting. Liza M. Velasquez asserts in her review of The Royal Hunt of the Sun ("Royal Hunt Misses the Mark," Oct. 26) that the casting decisions made in the Mainstage production were "disappointing." She writes that director Jeremy Blumenthal cross-cast a number of women in the roles of "sympathetic yet incomprehensible male Incas," and goes on to say that "[i]t seems...
