...news network was allowed to remain in Baghdad after most journalists were evicted, Arnett has been broadcasting a stream of reports under Iraqi supervision, mostly showing damage caused by allied bombing. Though CNN carefully labels these reports Iraqi-cleared, they have drawn fire for giving Saddam a conduit for his portrayal of the war. Senator Alan Simpson has impugned Arnett's patriotism; talk-show callers have heaped invective on the reporter. If Arnett were awarded "the Iraq Medal of Honor by Saddam Hussein," suggested one letter writer in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, "I for one feel he would deserve...

...that never become a forest. Interlocutors both fascinating and tedious, mundane sight- seeing jaunts and profound observations, telling vignettes and pointless collections of detail are all jumbled together in a work too long by half. Good questions are posed but not answered. Glass himself remains strangely opaque, a formless conduit, until the account of his captivity. At first his prayers sought to bargain God into releasing him; later he tried "to make myself known to God, asking less, offering more." But to his readers, Glass has not offered enough of the analysis and synthesis needed to transform sharp observation into...
