...pointing out their theatricality. In these instances, though, Gore didn't sigh or groan while Bradley spoke. And he didn't even distort Bradley's positions. He merely pointed out that Bradley's proposed monthly health-care subsidy, the one that's supposed to replace Medicaid, wouldn't be enough to buy coverage for poor people in either state. So when Bradley gave him that dead-fish look, the former Senator just came off as peevish, like a college professor who hates it when a grad student challenges his lecture...
...debates the fine points of policy and rewrites speeches himself, which takes time. Since he doesn't have the Vice President's policy apparatus, he solicits ideas from hundreds of outsiders; his staff boils down the best ones. But Bradley is the final arbiter of what's good enough, which is why he can create a bottleneck. In November, he was scheduled to give a major foreign-policy address at Tufts University, but as the date drew near, the campaign made less of it. And when Bradley finally delivered the thing, it turned out to be a gauzy disappointment...
...TOMORROW, as the President returned to Shepherdstown, W.Va., for the Israeli-Syrian talks. Among their possessions, you could see a couple of rugs, a kitchen table and a large bed. Don Imus wondered whether the plastic would ever come off the mattress. I wondered whether there would ever be enough living in the living room to fill up such a huge space...

But the subtler portrayals dominate, and Robbins' direction keeps the multitude of stories on track, heading toward a finish that is more than dynamic and complex enough to justify earlier moments of simplification...
...play at being Ernest since they cannot love those who are not earnest in character, not to mention Ernest by law and sacrament. Britanni Sonnenburg is a light breeze on stage as a mischievous, innocent Cecily. Ahana Kalappa contrasts nicely as the precocious, urbane Gwendolyn, whose malapropisms are enough to throw a dictionary at. Kathryn Powell as Miss Prism, Cecily's spinster governess, and Stian Westlake as Dr. Chasuble, the parish clergyman, give grounded performances. Cary McClelland makes for a delightfully indignant, buxom Lady Bracknell, whose voice breaks just a little too much, presumably for the sake of emphasis...
