...progress stalls and then a new resolutioneither do what it takes to win or get us out. In Vietnam, nine years passed after the first U.S. servicemen were killed and more than 20,000 others died before a majority of Americans concluded we were on the wrong course. Opinion swung more quickly this time, as the cost-benefit analysis changed. When the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) weren't found and the Saddam-9/11 connection was discredited, the sense of urgent threat receded. However generous and idealistic Americans may be, a half-a-trillion-dollar nation-building venture...

Let's hope that the recent Mardi Gras celebration will rally public opinion in favor of rebuilding the once proud city...
...right now. The show has certainly garnered more commercial success—and possibly more critical success—than any since “The Producers,” making it a permanent part of the legacy of an art form whose progress is largely dictated by public opinion. While it’s unlikely that we’ll see another film based on this musical, it is certain that “The Song That Goes Like This” and the 15-minute Camelot dance extravaganza have entered into the pantheon of contemporary musical theater...
