...would be nice to report that this celebrated comedy is as fresh in the Roundabout Theatre's Broadway revival as it was in 1939, when it opened. Sadly, despite an acidly amusing star turn by Nathan Lane, the story of a curmudgeonly radio commentator forced to spend two weeks with an Ohio family now seems tedious and self-indulgent. There's satiric potential in a middle-American family's encounter with celebrity boorishness, but we get too little feeling for the family and way too much for the hammy show-biz types who troop on and off the stage...

It diagnosed its own systems and navigated with the aid of an electronic brain reminiscent of HAL, the willful computer in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Given that this claim is apparently the sole reason for the student's activities, it would seem prudent to have substantiated...
...course, few of these institutions are bold enough to declare us not "good enough." Instead, they fill out mailboxes and answering machines with roundabout rejections: "Competition was especially tight" some tell us (wait, didn't you use that line last year?) or "We encourage you to reapply next year" (Thanks, but no thanks, sir or madam...
