...Senate candidate in New Jersey challenging the incumbent constantly reinforces the same point: his opponent is corrupt, so voters need to dump him and pick someone with a higher sense of ethics. Increased funding for stem cell research, a ban on offshore oil drilling in Alaska and outlawing gifts from lobbyists to lawmakers are major planks in his campaign platform. He's also been sharply critical of the Bush Administration handling of the war in Iraq, and is pro-choice and liberal on environmental issues. Now, in the wake of the Mark Foley scandal, he's called on House Speaker...

...Desperanians carry their complicated histories theatrically large-and none more so than the Phantoms of westside Pricklebush. There's matriarch Angel Day, who drags a statue of the Virgin Mary from the town dump, igniting a clan war in the process; her fish embalmer husband Norm, who dreams of the Gulf's mythical grouper hole; their rebel son Will, who violently opposes the local mine; and his mentor, Mozzie Fishman, who leads convoys of similarly disenchanted souls (and later Angel Day) to Dreaming sites across the state. Around them swirl stories large and small, glorious and grotesque, of epic quests...
