...traditional atmosphere here at the Daily. As I recently told my dear co-writer Dave, there are few environments in which one can revel so dearly in intellectual enlightenment and simultaneously proper etiquette. For back in Florida, my dear readers, we have been able to resist the wave of ill manners that has swept this chilly, though always dear, environment. Yes. Ma'am on that...
...director Michael Shin's production, set and lighting effects are minimal (and ill-handled), and Shin focuses on his actors instead of their surroundings.

Dan is the basic Hitchcock protagonist, a fairly decent man in a horribly compromised position...

A lame-duck President who has been buffeted by scandal, a stock-market crash and the bruising defeat of his first court nominee could ill afford this latest fiasco...
