Theater Guide. “Off-Broadway: Atwater: Fixin’ to Die.” New York Times. September 26, 1997.

[Excerpt]

Played with a chilling bonhomie by Bruce McIntosh, who bears more than a passing resemblance to him, Atwater is a twisted political prodigy of the modern era. The wiry Mr. McIntosh conveys both the naked ambition and folksy charm of a young man who advanced rapidly on a extraordinary instinct for the tastes, prejudices and resentments of white Middle America.
