...play by Arthur Miller is an important event in American culture. One as theatrically bold and intellectually subtle as The Ride Down Mt. Morgan is reason to shout for joy. Robustly funny, full of fantasy and hallucination yet easy to follow, it is free of the world-weary, elegiac tone of the four slight one-acts that had been Miller's sole stage output in the previous decade. At 76, the playwright has recaptured the vigorous voice and zest of middle age and has found a fresh, indeed engagingly oddball, way to revisit his accustomed theme of how to assess...
...power, the competing guerrilla bands have achieved a relative peace and joined in a transitional government. The death toll has fallen from 10,000 people a , month to a few hundred.

Bogosian rarely sentimentalizes his creatures or provides the familiar monologue arc of comedy, poignancy, comedy. As writer he creates...
...West Coast branch of the Kremlin." Limbaugh, a rock-ribbed skeptic, believes that reports of the death of Soviet communism have been greatly exaggerated. A "Gorbasm" is the sound people make when hailing Mikhail Gorbachev -- "and of course every Gorbasm is fake." Listeners who agree with Rush shout "Mega-dittos" as a greeting. Those who don't agree, he says, endanger his concept of "safe talk" (to guarantee which Limbaugh once placed a condom over his microphone) and may get a "caller abortion." They are cut off, with vacuum-cleaner noises and a woman's scream in the background...
