...Start to finish, Jersey Boys is fast, fun and mostly engaging. It's awfully well cast-I liked all four faux-Seasons.

Granted, his voice isn't double-tracked, as Valli's often was on records, and I caught Young on a night when he'd already done a matinee.

In Beijing on Sunday, he eased his administration's sharp language of recent days, which included Vice President Dick Cheney's labeling of war critics as "reprehensible" and White House ripostes to the New York Times and Washington Post editorial pages. Cheney's remark prompted response from within the increasingly restive Republican Party. "People should feel comfortable about expressing their opinions about Iraq," Bush told White House reporters in Beijing. "I heard somebody say, 'Well, maybe so-and-so is not patriotic because they disagree...
