...walking into a perjury trap, led outsiders to assert that he would soon have no choice but to confess all--and insiders to suspect essentially the opposite: that he would admit not a single thing, deny any romance, dismiss Lewinsky as a fantasizing stalker and even consider refusing to turn over a blood sample that could match his DNA to the stain on the dress. Fight it out, all the way, without looking back...
...vicious humor and a great concern for both the individuals and the masses. The opening scene immediately draws in the audience--even those completely ignorant of Russian history--with a flurry of fake snow and a lively political debate going on between two babushkas. These sprightly women, however, quickly turn into the mindlessly smiling grandmothers they are supposed to be as soon as Vassily Vorovilich Smokov (Jim Augustine '01) and Serge Esmereldovich Upgobkin (Paul Siemens '98) enter the scene.

"This is going to take perspiration rather than inspiration," says Mutiso. "The investigators have settled in for the long haul...
...month for a similar, if more serious charge of fabricating characters. Smith is a black woman; Barnicle a white male. Inevitably, the disparity of punishment will leave the Globe open to charges of racism. That was one of the reasons Storin and Taylor dithered for so long, which in turn caused the rival Boston Herald great glee: "What a bunch of idiots," they quoted one Globe staffer saying about his management's indecision...
