Two biases to begin: from 'Perry Mason' going forward I am a sucker for almost any courtroom drama. But, beyond wartime stories, military tales rarely compel me. So, heading into the weekend's new mounting at the La Mirada Theatre of 'A Few Good Men,' Aaron Sorkin's first Broadway play — mostly remembered from the 1992 movie with Jack Nicholson's catch-phrase snarl 'You can't handle the truth!' — my truth was in not having a clue how things would land for me. So I'm quite pleased to offer a salute: talented director Casey Stangl has her spot-on cast of 19 in quick-march lock-step with Sorkin's machine-gun fire dialogue.
