Republican objections to the Dubai ports deal haven't stabilized in Congress this week, despite the promise of a 45-day delay and nonstop crisis management by the Bush Administration. If anything, they've increased...
...freedom's on the march in the Middle East" speeches to a subdued American Legion audience in Washington. A paragraph condemning the mosque attack was added, but the President's address was both stale and fantastic. The news from the Middle East-Iran, Iraq, Palestine-has been nonstop awful, and Bush is beginning to sound as airy and out of touch as Woodrow Wilson must have in 1919, when that President tried to sell the futile dream of a League of Nations...

What “Running Scared” provides instead is a nonsensical plot, dialogue that consists mostly of variations on Paul Walker screaming “Give me my fucking gun,” nonstop shootings, beatings, and knifings; and a directorial style, courtesy of Wayne Kramer, that refuses to use one shot or effect if it can use five.

The Musicals in Mufti revival in April captured the show's wit and plaintive warmth, wreathing the audience in nonstop smiles. I also loved the Actors' Fund production of It's a Wonderful Life, a musical of the Frank Capra movie. First staged in 1986, the show never got to Broadway, until last week, with a luminous cast led by Brian Stokes Mitchell as George Bailey, Phylicia Rashad...
