His wife Eileen McGann, a noted lawyer, was much more willing to talk about the personal aspects of the brutal week. Both interviews, along with the story our political team put together on this odd saga and the analysis by Robert Wright of the values debate, offer, I hope, telling glimpses into the most amazing intersection of politics and personality we have seen this year...

...must walk to what is inevitably known as Old Sparky). Set in the deep, sleepy and racist South of 1932, the novel asks the question, What if a hulking but gentle and close-to-mute black man with a gift for Christlike healing were sentenced to die for the brutal kidnapping and murder-rape of two little white girls--crimes he may or may not have committed? There are many familiar King elements: gore ( in this regard a botched electrocution is the novel's tour de force), ambiguous supernatural powers, cruelty and revenge.
