...workaholic subject--has a much better feel for his love affair with his job than for his human relationships. Giuliani's wife Donna Hanover (Penelope Ann Miller) is an enigma, given little to do but express various flavors of exasperation. Woods, however, has Giuliani nailed, capturing his sarcasm, his dry speaking style and his inability to accept criticism.

They worried aloud that the result looked more like Mercedes symbols than peace signs.” Other images are similarly choice: naive peaceniks partying in Florence...
McDonough is, without a doubt, the best baseball broadcaster in the business. He is witty and intelligent. His voice is clear and his play-by-play sharp. His dry sarcasm is accurate and hilarious, and though it’s clear he’s a Red Sox fan, McDonough tells it, as Howard Cosell would say, “like...
