Kerry’s television response? A sparsely broadcast, though enormously heartening, no-he-won’t on the first. And absolute silence on the second and third. The candidate who promised a relentless fight has thus far failed to broadcast any alternative to Bush’s attacks. Yes, Moveon.org and The Media Fund—pro-Democratic groups airing anti-Bush commercials—serve a valuable purpose. But by law, they are forbidden from coordinating with the Kerry campaign and seem unable to directly challenge Bush’s offensive...

The day after Clarke...
...Dylan plugged out, giving the alt-rock generation an intimate acoustic look at his musical mastery. That concert, MTV Unplugged, will be released this week on DVD for the first time, along with four extra songs--including his classic Desolation Row--that weren't in the original TV broadcast. --By Christopher John Farley
