  3. 'Accomplices' by Bernard Weinraub

    High-profile reporting isn't the usual route to becoming a playwright, but in one respect Bernard Weinraub's newspaper pedigree serves him well in "The Accomplices." Like any muckraker worth his salt, Weinraub knows how to level accusations and make them sting.

    At the New York World's Fair on April 30, 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first commander in chief to appear on television when he formally opened the festivities on a NBC telecast. Since that time, every president and presidential candidate has used the medium -- to various degrees of success, most famously in the John F. Kennedy-Richard Nixon debates of 1960, when Kennedy's calm, self-assured demeanor helped him win the election over his Republican opponent, who was ill at ease and perspiring profusely in front of the cameras.
