'Angels' of grace, depth, and effect Jan 24, 2008
Most of all, I'm grateful that a local company is taking on this masterful, moving examination of American morality, politics, love, and public life, as illuminated by the darkness of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. In its exploration of the intersecting lives of its characters - the ailing Prior Walter and his lover, Louis; the young Mormons Joe and Harper Pitt; and Joe's mentor, the closeted conservative lawyer Roy Cohn - this work has a fury and deep humanity that feel as essential as ever.

'Moral victory' Jan 31, 2007
The attitude of the Bush administration could be summed up as, "We are too big and too powerful to make any mistakes." This kind of irresponsible behavior by the administration is making us lose our basic American morality and sense of justice, and causing irreparable damage to our credibility abroad. Moral victory is essential to win the hearts and minds of our partners in the war on terror. (Fresno Bee -- Opinion)
