LOCKED IN THE CABINET

Robert Reich, Secretary of Labor during the first Clinton administration, narrates his memoirs of his tenure in Washington. Insight into his own successes (and failures), as well as the frustrations and challenges of working inside the Beltway, infuse these recollections, which are presented in diary format. Reich narrates with warmth and wit in a clear, well-modulated voice and does not shy away from expressing the emotions of this very personal story. Unexpectedly skillful vocal characterizations, not ordinarily found in author readings, further enliven this outstanding production. M.A.M.
