...financial reform go? If our neighbor to the South is any indication, we have a difficult process ahead of us. Mexico is having significant troubles coping with the corrupt police and government officers that receive kickbacks from the drug cartels to look the other way and, thus, effectively support their actions. We can claim that it won't happen here, that the United States is not the economically impoverished Mexico and, therefore, will not fall prey to bribery.

The big scenes are somewhat muted (Marjorie Yates' Linda and Mark Strong's Biff are good if unmemorable) but the small ones achingly poignant--like the mix of awe and desolation with which Willy marvels at next-door neighbor Bernard's success: "Your friends have their own private tennis court?" What emerges most clearly in this version is Miller's critique of capitalism: Willy is less a tragic figure brought down by his flaws than the pawn of a system that sells a dream, then cannot deliver...
