The New Yorker on Barney Frank's night on Broadway: "Two Saturdays ago, Barney Frank walked onstage at City Center and declared to an empty house: 'I'm not a senator, but I play one in the theatre!'

The love they shared with others looked very much like the love I share with my wife –a deep friendship and companionship. And their faith was as authentic as that of anyone else in my congregation."
