Especially now that it's so international, the fewer words the better. While theater music becomes more and more confined to a few blocks in midtown.”
“One of the most surreal moments in this election was after the third debate, when I heard a talking head say, Al Gore won on substance, on the issues. But you have to give the victory to Bush because he seems presidential.”
