Case in point: the convoluted New York imbroglio this month in which Sharpton was reported to have offered to endorse Bronx borough president Fernando Ferrer--a Puerto Rican who's trying to win the Democratic mayoral nomination by building a coalition of Latino and black voters--if and only if Ferrer backed a slate of black candidates Sharpton favored.

The three have taken John Earth's trim, controlled novel about a nervous breakdown in the groves of academe and reduced it to a madman's drool...
