Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Incidentally, John Malkovitch was on local TV being interviewed the other night. I think he's quite smart, though I'm not quite sure. He generally feels that news should be followed less closely and history more closely; what we get out of the news on a day-to-day basis is both factually less reliable than what we can get out of books and has been more severely alleviated of its context. Also, he disputes the notion that stage acting needs to be exaggerated; if a play is well-written, he says, you shouldn't need to see the details of a person's face to know how s/he's reacting.
