back in a generational swap of characters--not to mention playwright Tony Kushner. It is good to hear that they were faithful to the original--not, as so often is the case, trying to make their mark with a jarring new direction.

60 Minutes had an interview with Moreno last Sunday. She is really something. I hope more young Latino women (especially) learn about her as a result.
