On the spot, he offered Lane the role of Albert in a remake of the French comedy La Cage aux Folles--alongside Robin Williams, in the more sober role of Armand.

They Only Look Dead: Why Progressives Will Dominate the Next Political Era (Simon & Schuster, 352 pages, $24) argues that the Gingrich phase of American politics is neither conservative nor revolutionary but instead reactionary, harking back to the Big Business Republicanism of the late 19th century. Gingrich is only the latest in a line of Republicans stretching back to Barry Goldwater who have attacked government as the cause of the country's problems.
