David Mamet has had a political conversion . . . of sorts.
I remember an interview Mamet gave around the time Glengarry Glen Ross won the Pulitzer, to the effect that he found there to be many beautiful things about capitalism, which you would not have expected from the guy who seemed only to reference its more rapacious tendencies. Mamet was always an interesting not this/not that sort of guy, though. “A work in progress,” as some would say . . .
