Introduction and interview with Aaron Sorkin - Thomas Fahy.
Mannerist Noir: Malice - Robert F. Gross
In Plain View and the Dark Unknown: Narratives of the Feminine Body in Malice - Susann Cokal

Virtue From Vice: Duty, Power, and The West Wing - Nathan A. Paxton
Women of The West Wing: Gender Stereotypes in the Political Fiction - Laura K. Garrett
The Republic of Sorkin: A View From the Cheap Seats - John Nein

The major themes of the essays were generally things I'd never really thought about in Sorkin's work before, like sexism/feminism, using higher education as a weapon, and power + virtue. Also often discussed was Sorkin's ideal vision of government/politics, America, and American society. Very interesting articles.
