That spring, several Senators tagged Reno in public for denying the FBI its warrant to inspect Lee's computer in 1997.

Two separate Tennessee Williams plays, Orpheus Descending and Baby Doll, made their homes in London for the summer, as did David Mamet's Speed the Plow, a three-hander trying to capitalize on that other London-based, three-actor, world-wide phenomenon, Art (an import from Paris, mind you).
