But watch former Senator Dodd and former Congressman Frank discuss it. Just as people are beginning to realize all the good Obamacare may do them and the country, so it looks as though Dodd-Frank may have been a solid piece of work as well, despite the best efforts of the G.O.P. to kill, gut, stymie and neuter it.

“BUYER AND CELLAR”
So here was the original New York Times review in April — “seriously funny” — and here is the front page of the New York Times Arts & Leisure section yesterday, calling it “the most talked about new comedy of the season . . .
