Tavernier attempts to explore the concept of madness through Bouvier's experience as a social outcast yet the character is never clarified. Tavernier dredges up the usual socio-economic sludge but he leaves it unexplained; was Bouvier raped by monks, did the rabid dog truly bite him, was he mistreated in the hospital, was he even crazy before he shot Louise and put two bullets in his own head?

This year, the perennial challenger has talked a lot about the vague concept of "neighborhoods," but nobody can spell out what he means--and more importantly--what he would do. To make matters worse, some say Timilty does not write his own political scripts. And many believe he simply lacks the competence to govern the city...
