...families of John Wayne Gacy's victims, his death was long anticipated. Just past midnight last Tuesday, the man who tortured and murdered 33 young men and boys during the 1970s would be executed by lethal injection at the Stateville penitentiary in Joliet, Illinois. Justice would be served, swift and clean, as three chemicals were introduced intravenously into his bloodstream. The first drug would knock him out, the second would suppress his breathing, the last would stop his heart. The procedure would take no more than five minutes. But Gacy would take 18 minutes to die.

The result is misery for everyone -- although no one is quite as miserable as the painter's roommate, a transsexual dying of AIDS. Mark Mocahbee has staged a supple, swift-paced and solidly acted production, minimalist save for screens that display the characters' unspoken thoughts. And the vice squad? They came, they saw and this time they decided the show...
...Wilson, 60, whose long-shot challenger in the Republican primary is computer tycoon Ron Unz, 32, cannot be written off. The bland but scrappy Governor, who a year ago suffered a record-low 15% approval rating, has rebounded on the strength of swift action during the brush fires in October and November and the earthquake in January. Wilson's own explanation for his resurgence takes note of Brown's new tack. "People are paying attention to real issues.
