HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS
Daniel Craig, now 54, must have felt he needed to drastically change his career direction now that he’s no longer 007. Why he chose Shakespeare’s “Macbeth,” post-Bond, must be because of director Sam Gold, who promised this Broadway production would be innovative and different. In view of Denzel Washington’s Oscar nomination for his “Macbeth” film, it was a gutsy decision for Craig.
However, critics were waiting with their little hatchets! One called the production “uninvolving, ponderous and a real blunderball.” His leading lady, Ruth Negga as Lady Macbeth, came off much better, and critics proclaimed, “She stole the show with her mellifluous voice and the requisite intensity for the woman plotting to kill King Duncan!”
Barbara Broccoli, Bond films producer, admits she’s still searching for the next 007. Her short list has Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba and Jacob Elordi.

FLASHBACK ANSWERS

Vaughan died in a helicopter crash in 1990, he left behind a wealth of material. Since then, a number of tribute specials and posthumous albums have been released, some of them charting globally.
2. They were hoping for an endorsement from the Mitchells &
Butlers Brewery. It didn’t happen.
3. “Gloria.” The other one, “Imagination,” was used. “Gloria” nabbed a Grammy nomination for Best
Female Pop Vocal in 1982.
4. Bonnie Tyler, in 1983.

VETERANS POST
A recent audit by the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General (OIG) outlined what so many of us already knew—that it’s difficult to understand the wait times for appointments and medical care at the VA.

It seemed to some of us that the rules changed day by day, that our appointments were at the whim of whatever program was being followed at the time and that there was no transparency about how those dates were calculated. It turns out that we were right all along.
Enter the OIG, with its excellent investigators who always leave no stone unturned. While the recent audit doesn’t assign blame (which the OIG won’t hesitate to do when it’s called for), the VA knew about these problems. The OIG has officially asked the VA to respond and let them know what steps they’re going to take to fix this.
To read the details, go to www.va.gov/ oig/pubs/VAOIG-2102761-125.pdf. Don’t miss the timeline on the cardiology patient whose provider wanted him seen pronto. There was a 66 day wait! FREE SERVICE CALL
