...Shakespeare to farce, in places as varied as an outdoor amphitheater in the D.C. area and a cavernous theater on London’s West End. What follows is a catalogue of those theatergoing experiences, a sort of journal, compiled in chronological order for your reading pleasure (not to mention my writing convenience...
Massaging the Teamsters started before Bush was in the White House. The President's chief strategist, Karl Rove, has known Hoffa for years, and the labor leader is quick to mention the help Rove offered during his race against Ron Carey back in 1996.

A nice story, Mr. Melville, but I expect a commercial flop. You might mention the make of the sails...
