...competitors take for granted. For most of the year, the campaign has operated almost entirely on the talents and wit of its candidate, who has flown commercial airlines, written his own talking points and jokes, and worked 20-hour days. Lacking the teams of advisors that most candidates depend on, Huckabee now finds himself a first-tier candidate struggling with a second-tier operation...
With rumors of government complicity in Benazir Bhutto's assassination rife throughout Pakistan, the country's stability may depend on the absolute transparency of the investigation into the murder. But a constantly evolving and sometimes contradictory explanation of the events by Pakistani investigators has only clouded the issue.

Still a Bazaar of the Arts I was very interested in your cover story on the supposed death of French culture [Dec. 3].
