Though I did try to follow your maxim about God's chillun and looked for the wings in this instance, but they must have been very well strapped up.<br /><br />Will, isn't it interesting how many perspectives Aaron Sorkin's work can be viewed from - the different presents for Americans and the rest of the world as it unfolded, and now the prophetic significance in so many of the details, particularly about compromising with tyrants.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-53801815392093166482011-03-08T21:36:20.350+00:002011-03-08T21:36:20.350+00:00The sanity and humanity of the West Wing got many ...The sanity and humanity of the West Wing got many of us through the George W. Bush years when intelligence (personal and military) was defective or lacking entirely, and wedges were purposely being driven between strata and segments of American life. And yes, the ensemble work is a joy, all of it in support of Mr. Sorkin who is one of our very finest writers for the medium.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279473113628377106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-24130472041495936672011-03-08T17:21:54.230+00:002011-03-08T17:21:54.230+00:00As regards the residents' committee you are sp...As regards the residents' committee you are spoilt, I would argue, by moving business-wise and normally in such educated (intellectual and cultural) circles. Those with no experience of committees ( broadly defined) are HOPELESS when they find themselves in such an arena. They have no knowledge of the relevant logic, mechanisms, necessary humanity, when to give way, when to insist etc etc. Meet them in their own environment and they might be quite different. Except that they very often use these committees to indulge the will power which has little outlet elsewhere.David Damantnoreply@blogger.com
