...bronze statue in front of Chicago's United Center came to life Friday night. Before his name was announced, before his signature was lasered onto the floor, the Bulls' new shooting guard, No. 45, Michael Jordan, was greeted by a roar of joy that filled every inch of the new arena and lasted a coincidental 45 seconds.

McAnuff has called How to Succeed a "scathing attack on everything." But as satires go, this one is an amiable, toothless lion (although a lion with quite a roar: the music is occasionally amplified to the point of muddle and distortion).

My Lord, what a ruckus. All this Retro can give a girl a headache. But before you get nostalgic about the future, remember that every morning you have the potential to broadcast something. No matter which decade you pilfer, you are announcing "I am of the now." You are playing a cosmic game of Whack-a-Mole...
