Actor Daniel von Bargen portrays Major Manley Battle, whose lines like "standing orders prevent me from flying on anything but a stealth bomber," even outdo the real-life performance of Lt. Col. Oliver North...
...council reduced important policy issues to clown-show theater. Councilor Tom Danehy ridiculed some of Cambridge's most dedicated and hard-working citizens. Mayor Alfred E. Vellucci wasted much time rambling about mud in basements and textbooks for schoolchildren, as if these topics were pertinent to the issues at hand...
