Such an alliance, however, could be effective only if Mondale were first stopped in California and New Jersey. While the conventional wisdom once rated Hart the likely winner in California and Mondale a breeze in New Jersey, veteran pols now consider each state close. The picture in detail...
...Tate Gallery, "The Pre-Raphaelites," has been a roaring popular success. In attendance it has been surpassed at the Tate only by exhibitions of John Constable and Salvador Dali-fittingly, since it rivals the intense Englishness of the former while competing with the fulsome, more-than-photographic detail of the latter.

His most memorable characters (Herzog, Mr. Sammler, Henderson the Rain King) can list in sometimes comic detail all the symptoms of the decline of the West. Almost alone in serious contemporary fiction, though, Bellow's heroes think that a cure may be worth...
