So few modern dramas can even come near matching its perfection. Aristotle called it, "The Perfect Play." That is the classic example of conflict and tension and irrevocable change.

I watched an HBO documentary the other night on Heidi Fleiss' new stud ranch for women -- Gay men, really -- and she was telling the story of her favorite book, "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein.

There's a vast difference between a good play and, say, the Doctor Seuss story "...and to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street!" Great stories are more than just, "Oh, interesting thing happened to me the other day." :) I am enamored by this doctrine, David.
