FARGO: There’s a place for secrecy in government
There are slippery slopes, camels’ noses under tents, etc., that we fear will become too common if we budge on our opposition to secrecy. But secretly (oops), we also know that government has to keep some things quiet to keep us safe.

Jerry Seinfeld
July 23
Murat Theatre
One of the best things that can be said about Jerry Seinfeld is that his resume seems to reflect a man who knows what he can do and what he can’t do. After his sitcom success, you didn’t see Seinfeld trying to be a romantic comedy lead in the movies, you didn’t see a cash-in follow-up TV series, you didn’t see him in a Broadway musical, and you didn’t see him try to get cred as a serious artist.
Instead, there’s been stand-up comedy. It’s his thing. He does it well. And he’s coming to town this week.
Oh, OK, there’s the celebs-helping-real-people TV mess “The Marriage Ref,” which he created, but we’ll let him slide for that. Details on the concert here.
