Graff, The Washingtonian, on An Enemy for the People “Funny … The production glides confidently from silly to wry, from the pratfall to the riposte … Suave Christopher Innvar and tart Veanne Cox [are] polished comic actors who seem as smart as the words they utter.” Peter Marks, The Washington Post, on The Beaux’ Strategem “Unforgettable theater … smartly staged, wonderfully acted, and gorgeously rendered. Kahn’s Richard III possesses charm, menace and malice to spare.” Patrick Folliard, Washington Blade, on Richard III “Four Stars … Edwards succeeds mightily in balancing this parade of destruction with the emotional journeys Shakespeare offers … she has kept it free of exploitation and excessive prurience and still made it relevant. This Titus is high on action with enough superb displays of choreography and well-rehearsed stage-craft to keep even the YouTube crowd rapt.” Kate Wingfield, Metro Weekly, on Titus Andronicus “Ingenious … A straight-up modern-dress take.

Bobbie Kilberg Thank you, I'm delighted to be here. Timothy Naftali Tell us about how you came to the White House. When did it happen? What were the circumstances? Bobbie Kilberg I came to the White House as a White House fellow, which was a wonderful program that John Gardner had instituted under -- who was Secretary of HEW -- had instituted under President Lyndon Johnson, with the help of Jack Delany. And it was a program designed to bring bright, young people -- at that point in the early stages of their careers -- to Washington for leadership program that involved being assigned to a Cabinet member or senior White House staff member. And the idea of the program was to take 14 to 18 young people, have them do that for a year, and they go back into their communities and make a difference. And it was -- it was remarkable. I mean -- to get the exposure and the experience you could get at an early age into the highest levels of decision making in a White House or Cabinet agency couldn't be done any other way.

Hundreds of others participated via satellite. Delegates participated in workshops, panel discussions, and interactive voting sessions and heard presentations. Workshops focused on access to capital, trade, health insurance costs, understanding the tax code, access to government procurement, gaining media exposure, work/life balance, trends in technology, and retirement security. Highlights were these: health care costs were unsustainable for women entrepreneurs; access to capital was a key challenge for them; the federal government should be made small business-friendly; tax code complexity challenges women entrepreneurs; entrepreneurship is a tough work/life balancing act; women entrepreneurs are going global; they have retirement issues; and technology helps them succeed.

In each case, the group faced opposition within its chosen party but allied with friendly partisans to marginalize opponents and nominate politicians committed to their priorities. Trying to influence office holders whom the groups had no hand in nominating proved ineffective: office holders would promise benefits but do nothing that displaced core supporters or median voters. Mobilizing nonpolitical groups for political purposes was the road to success. In both cases, marginal social groups rather than politicians drove the process, creating transformed parties that would stand up for rather than straddle the issues they cared about. ii This dissertation of Christopher Andrew Baylor is approved.
