A. Upmalis) Distribution: na Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 27 Summary: Mark me as another fan of intelligent, well written (at least often) drama. I like the way they use New York City as a backdrop, they aren't obligated to show you Brooklyn Bridge twice a show, but the feel of New York with it's diversity makes for a nice feel. The choice of actors is wonderful, often the bit parts or minor/major characters are played by New York stage actors. Woodward is an old actor from the Royal Shakespeare Company in England and others who have appeared in the show (e.g. Brian Bedford in the episode about the Public Defender who kills the clients he gets free) have a similar strong background. The show has been criticized for the amount of violence, but I think that violence is portrayed as a last resort that must be employed or is a reality of life. One question, what is that thing on Woodward's lapel? -- Mike Upmalis (mupmalis@watarts) ihnp4!watmath!watarts!mupmalis Chemistry is useful both in Modern Medicine and the treatment of Steel.
