...Government Shutdown'? I was surprised that you included an article by Newt Gingrich in your cover package [March 1]. Isn't the idea of Gingrich giving advice on bipartisan cooperation akin to asking the fox for advice on how to guard the henhouse? He is the king of noncooperation and partisanship. There are people on both sides of the aisle who can offer advice about bipartisanship and have at least a modicum of credibility. Sandy Stanley muscatine, Iowa...

The prerecorded sweet-potato song streams into a chilly night sky: "Yakiimo, yakiimo, hokka hoka no yakitate" (Sweet potatoes...
...them Oplev is able to tease more thrills out of the material than they might expect. Blomkvist twice stumbles unwittingly into suspenseful situations involving spooky houses and while we're annoyed that he's less savvy than he is in the book, you want to feel the urge to cover your eyes in a thriller like this; by tinkering, Oplev amps up the tension even for avid Larsson readers.
