On deadline(s), not much time, just passing through:

• Gus is so on fire lately, I'm almost afraid to look.
  
• Don Shirley draws attention to an overlooked and eye-opening history of South Coast Rep.
  
• Red Bull's doing the original Malfi, but when will someone revive the kick-ass Brecht/Auden version?
  
• Matt Yglesias on an overrated lefty hero.
