Frank Rich's column yesterday on the HBO film of Angels in America is a right on tour de force. You'd think this work would have been praised to death by now, but the fact that "Angels" simply hasn't been matched in the years since it appeared is one reason why it continues to astound. The deeply felt intersection of humanity and politics from which Angels speaks feels quite out of reach these days, as the notion of honest political soul searching has been pretty much back-burnered while we exhaust ourselves nailing people on politics built on infantile deceptions.
