...wrong to support the war in Iraq? Several conservatives and neoconservatives have begun to renounce the decision to topple Saddam Hussein three years ago. William F. Buckley Jr., as close to a conservative icon as America has, recently wrote that "one can't doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed." George F. Will has been a moderate skeptic throughout. Neoconservative scholar Francis Fukuyama has just produced a book renouncing his previous support.

If only Jim recognizes some spark of genius in him, then all doubt will be banished. Larry is not alone in this hope. The poetry students all idolize Jim and are thrilled to hang out with him at his house or in the local bars. They defend him against the traditionalist administration. But the problem with big stars is their gravitational pull. It's hard...
