This week I am most grateful to a staunch RFC supporter, not only because she gave a most generous year-end contribution, but also because she gave it in honor of someone who embodies the RFC’s spirit. The contribution was given “in memory of Justina Ruiz de Conde,” someone, we at the RFC office had never heard of.

Last weekend Elli and I had the privilege of seeing both parts of Tony Kushner’s brilliant play Angels in America in New York City. This is a marathon: two 3½ hour segments separated by a 2½ hour break. I was mesmerized by this revival of the original 1993 production, but I don’t intend to review the play in this blog. Instead I’ll focus on one small, but important, interaction that takes place late in its second part.
