  1. New Stages play 'Dartmoor Prison' is held captive by its big speeches

    "Set in a bleak naval prison in Devon, England" is just the kind of description I can get behind.

Ebenstein, a lecturer in economics at UC Santa Barbara, believes that it's too cozy for unions to be bargaining with bosses they've likely campaigned to elect -- and the state's economic doldrums are one result. An eight-year veteran of the Santa Barbara school board and the author of volumes about conservative economists Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek, he's now got a metaphorical book he wants to throw at public employee unions.
