...Service agents, plunged into a crowd of 50 well-wishers--the first spontaneous mosh-pit moment of Clinton's strange and improbable proto-campaign. She hugged children, signed autographs, posed for snapshots, and made deep and significant eye contact with as many peepers as possible. (There could be no doubt who had taught her the mystical arts of the rope line.) When 15-year-old Stephanie Stein handed her a photograph, Clinton gazed at it for a few long, respectful moments, and one got the feeling that the photo contained the apotheosis of youthful achievement.

"This is all part of the experience," he says. "You've got a good story...

Lovecraft--and branded forever on film by Hitchcock--the horror genre is too important to be left to the kids. It speaks to every doubt and guilt we silently carry; it lends a seductive form to fear and leaves us with a dread not easily shaken...
