...hard to know who to blame when a production goes this wrong. That misguided directing is accountable for the show’s embarrassing failure to exploit the manifest talents of its participants (all of whom, in other contexts, have acted extremely well), goes without saying. But it is probably more productive to wonder why the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club, understandably attracted to the flashy high-concept behind Chess (and mind you, it could have turned out great) didn’t step in to abort the venture before the debacle could unfold before a paying audience.

As the clock ticked on his term, Ryan began to personally review all death-row inmates' cases. "I have taken extraordinary action to correct manifest wrongs," he said. But Cook County state's attorney Richard Devine, whose office prosecuted the four pardoned men, called the Governor's actions "outrageous and unconscionable." Ryan, he said, "has breached faith with the memory of the dead victims, their families and the people he was elected to serve...
