...Iowa Senator Tom Harkin at a breakfast for 1,500 liberal Democratic farmers and senior citizens in Moline, Ill. Harkin rolled up his working-class sleeves, quoted from the Old Testament and Abe Lincoln, and with drawling, oratorically expert highs and lows, hammered away at the Bush Administration on bread-and-butter issues...

Meals that never varied: bread, cheese and tea for breakfast and dinner; boiled rice and vegetable-something-or-other for lunch. All this savored without benefit of a light bulb. Sometimes without benefit of even a candle. Often alone...
