The vintage Aaron Sorkin is back, suppressing the heavy-handedness he showed in politically correcting _To Kill a Mocking Bird_. Magnificent drama, focusing on political (as Mr Lowe notes) inspiration. But to call it nonpartisan reveals a troubling epistemic bubble, where it is apparently unthinkable to be uneasy about abortion, or about federal regulation of voting in the south but not, for instance, Massachusetts. Anointing the Associated Press as the supposedly non-partisan arbiter of election results, given its recent Style Guide mandates favoring Senator Harris, was a particularly Orwellian touch.
