...Gingrich is hearing from many of the influential G.O.P. freshmen, however, is that the Buchanan crowd is a force that must be reckoned with. "It's not a real bright idea for some of the more senior Republicans around here to be calling this group extremists," says Representative Joe Scarborough of Florida's Dixie-oriented Panhandle. "We can either ignore Buchanan's message and face the consequences or acknowledge the potency of his ideas...
...Scarborough warns that a good many G.O.P. freshmen were elected with a campaign message not unlike the one Buchanan offers: trade protectionism, social conservatism and something not so different from isolationism in foreign affairs. that's why, once in washington, they were out front in the fight against NAFTA, the Mexican bailout and the U.S. mission in Bosnia.

For his fans, Communicating Doors marks an end to a period when his works grew darker and darker, to the point that they could scarcely be called comedies. "This is intentionally lighter," Ayckbourn says of his souffle of time travel, murder, melodrama and bedroom farce. "It's also meant to be affirmative after things have grown steadily worse in Britain under governments that seem not to care...
