the
crimes they solve are historical almost as often as they are personal. In
Cold Case, as in Faulkner, the past isn’t over; it keeps on happening. In
1939, a black woman dies because the milkman wants her. In
1953, a teacher’s Red-baiting coincides with the execution of the Rosenbergs. In
1964, a college athlete is beaten to death outside a gay bar. In
1969, the draft and Vietnam leave behind a body. In
1983, someone murders an AIDS activist. All this plus orphanages, abortion clinics, disco fires, cross-dressing, cult deprogramming, and Johnny Cash in Folsom
Prison. In just a few new
episodes this fall, we’ve already spent time with surrogate mothers, piggy frat boys, abused fat girls, and fundamentalist nutbags. Count on Lilly & Co. to go occasionally over the top, embarrassing themselves and those of us who urge our friends to watch. But to embarrass themselves, the actors and writers have to take chances, and they can also be counted on for nuance, fatigue, regret, and grief, as well as a sinus-clearing class animus. On
Cold Case, the richer you are, the more you have to lie about. But these legionnaires will not permit privilege to escape punishment.
