Book Review: ‘I, Citizen: A Blueprint for Reclaiming American Self-Governance’

In many of their writings, the Founding Fathers often indicated what they were working to secure for the American people: safety and happiness.

Theater Review: ‘The Alchemist’

NEW YORK—Red Bull Theater puts the axiom that people get exactly what they deserve squarely in their sights with Jeffrey Hatcher’s biting adaptation of Ben Johnson’s 17th-century comedy “The Alchemist,” now at New World Stages. It’s 1610 and London has been ravaged by a great plague, which has caused those with means to flee to…
