...during the Microsoft trial, as a covey of reporters gathered around Boies, one of the chief opposing lawyers, John Warden, wandered by and cracked, "Ask him about his wine cellar." Warden might have suggested the reporters also ask about the gorgeous Georgian home that sits above those 8,000 bottles in Westchester County, N.Y., or about the oceangoing yacht, the Northern California ranch, the high-stakes poker games, the nearly annual chateau-to-chateau bike trips in Burgundy and Bordeaux.

What ultimately happens is shocking...
...undoubtedly also lies in its supporting cast. Sarah Eno '03 and Ashley McCants '02 deserve special praise for their resounding performances as Valentin's love Marta and Molina's mother. Their duet in "Dear One" is especially unforgettable. Brian Gatten too demands an awesome presence on stage as the Warden. Kudos also to Scott Rowen '02 and Adam Robbins '00 for strong performances...
