Candidates, like cat burglars, step more carefully when they are carrying a loaded gun. So when South Dakota's Republican Senate candidate John Thune challenges Tim Johnson for opposing missile defense, the TV ad shows an image of Saddam Hussein. "Is this a question of patriotism?" the ad asks. "No. It's a question of judgment." It's an artful but nervy charge to level at Johnson, who actually supports the use of force against Iraq and whose son Brooks is the only congressional son to serve in Afghanistan. Not one to waste a good sound bite, Minnesota Republican Norm...

In her narrative Smith acknowledges and dismisses the pop-psychological interpretations that Alex's book invites--"The Mixed-race people see things double theory and the fatherless children seek out restored symmetry [theory]"--but this is just a self-conscious cop-out. Likewise, Alex's best friend, Adam...

Superficially, Deitch's art looks very much like the cartoons of the 1930s - simple and happy with lots of movement and activity in every corner of the frame. But they are done in heavily shaded black...
