That’s all today from Dr Mac. But anaphylaxis neatly bookends writer/director Joseph Cedar’s delightful New York/Israeli co-production, telling about the life and times of Norman Oppenheimer (Richard Gere).

(*) lobbyist a person who tries to influence legislation on behalf of a special interest;

(**) fixer a person who uses influence or makes arrangements for another, especially by improper or unlawful means.
