...borders and slice legal immigration at least in half. Diane Dillingham, a longtime G.O.P. activist but Lamm admirer in Denver, thinks his suck-a-lemon style won't have much appeal. "The average voter doesn't want to hear the truth," she says. "If you don't sugar-coat it, you don't get elected."

...reach of anyone without a staff, or who sleeps more than Martha's four hours a night, that there is no obligation to actually do it. Being in Martha's thrall is like buying a treadmill and instantly feeling fit even though it serves mainly as a coat rack; acquiring the Martha oeuvre makes you think you will conduct a beautiful domestic symphony one of these days--when the kids grow up, when you lose your day job and perhaps the lunkhead you've married who likes meat loaf and ketchup.
