Brown is a wonderfully understated Albert Einstein in his suave argyle sweater vest and white lab coat, enunciating phrases like "workaday wedding" and "wonderful witticism" with a charming Teutonic lisp. DeLima overacts deliberately, and is spot-on, portraying Retton as if she were on crack, which is the only way to portray...
...flunky, but at the same time implies McCann's underlying madness, through red-faced yelling that seems to go too far. Heawood's Goldberg is a talky smoothie, calming his victims like a dog trainer with empty statements of conciliation. Though self-assured and, quite apparently from his spiffy vest, the leader of the two, Goldberg would fall apart under closer examination.

The groom wore a dark blue single-breasted suit, designed by Gordon Henderson, with a white pique vest and pale blue silk tie. His boutonniere was made of cornflowers, the favorite flower of his father, and he wore his father's watch...
...matter which party wins the House, the arithmetic of a narrow majority seems certain to vest the balance of power in the center. The more important the legislation, the more it will require bipartisan support. Tempered by the public's wrathful reaction to their record in 1995, Gingrich's troops have lately been compromising to get bills passed and signed by the President. In August, that strategy produced laws reforming welfare, making health care portable from job to job and increasing the minimum wage.
