The establishment, in the person of Baird, resents Simon's success. He's been able to crash the gate, as it were. Jews were finally starting to achieve some degree of success and were breaking through the institutions with great resistance. That's why you couldn't and shouldn't update this play. It's very particular. -Dan Wackerman

Simon is really his savior, but he put himself at risk. He did something unethical for moral reasons. It's hard to imagine him doing that now. He's become a hollow man. He's a very compromised man and that's what makes him such a wonderful American character. Audiences respond strongly, especially the attorneys.
