...aside from Scott, the finest acting was by Mark Mirsky and Arthur Lewis, as Gloucester and Kent. Gloucester is essentially a less exalted and more human Lear; Mirsky sustained this perfectly, and managed to dodder convincingly in the bargain.

Kenneth Peterson, 42. Some other C.L.U.-endorsed candidates fared as badly: three lost aldermanic races to independent liberals, and, more surprising, labor's representation on the school board was cut from five...
