...stage. Set and lighting, in fact, hold Ibsen's character-oriented play to a high-wire of beauty. Piping classical music brings out a gracile quatro of stage hands between acts one and two: They lay out light-cobalt platforms which in turn absorb a dull, icy lighting scheme. As the A.R.T.'s actors quickly sketch their tragedy (an uber-fable about ambition and hubricguilt), its stagecraft is relentlessly Scandinavian, so that the dark, philosophically neurotic A.R.T. paradigm feels like nothing more than atypical (or stereotypical) Norwegian aesthetic...

In a melding of good-old American persistence and Gen-X lethargy, Marciano refused to get out of bed on his thirtieth birthday until he came up with the scheme that would bring him money, power and, of course, respect.

But you would be wrong. According to the New York Times, our cigar-abusing, bongo-thumping President plans to celebrate the Senate's highly charitable verdict by launching "an all-out offensive to knock off his foes." It's not enough for this self-absorbed wretch to defile the nation's highest office. Now he's dragging his whole party into the muck...
