...little after-hours jesting among the campaign operatives about their candidates ("Does he know where he is? ... Get him his speech ...Ask him to try not to scratch himself in front of the cameras"), but in today's world of intense scrutiny, when a tiny glitch can sink a campaigner, the candidates have become frightened and more dependent than ever on their experts, who become more self-important with each election. Twenty years ago, when John Kennedy introduced many of today's practices, the handlers were a good deal more humble. None of them ever dominated Kennedy...
...mountain the next--costumes that moved with the action; a return to the acting troupe that prided itself on its adaptability and valued self-sufficiency and independence more than anything else.

...side stands Amy Benesch as Jean, a bitchy schoolmarm who can't hide her horniness or her contempt for men. A female chauvinist, Joan has less appeal than Bernie because she lacks a sense of humor about life in the sink. She exists as Deborah's lampshade, a taut mask on a bulb of sexual freedom...
