		It turns out that while Tony Kushner has a facility with language and dialogue, his much vaunted epic (it's been called the "best play of the decade" for example) is long-winded, repetitious and very whiny cartoon.
		The most striking aspect of Kushner's play is that his characters learn nothing through their suffering, except to increase the volume (in both senses) of their complaints.
		The Tonys and Pulitzers and other liberal accolades for this trashy agit-prop reveal a progressive culture that is abysmally lacking in the basic stuff of art -- empathy and understanding.

		Kushner wrote the play "Angels in America" (1993), which imagines the specter of Ethel Rosenberg returning to haunt various protagonists.
		Doctorow and Kushner ventilated many concerns about the relation of culture to society, chief among them the obligation of the artist to accurately represent the past.
		Doctorow went further, explaining that he wanted to use their circumstances to tell "a story of the mind of the country." It was a mind, apparently, filled with loathing and paranoia--again, never mind the truth of the charges against the Rosenbergs or other spies of the time.
