This thought leads to the third objection to the Bayh plan, raised by some liberals. They argue that, contrary to ear lier appearances, it would favor conservatives over liberals. One of the anomalies of the Electoral College, they note, is that it gives minorities an influence beyond their numbers and benefits liberal candidates who have their support. The reason is that big states, unlike many small states, usually have strongly vying, evenly divided parties, and a bloc vote by minorities can change an election. Illinois, with 26 electoral votes, is a crucial swing state; its large non-white minority...

Much of what Starusch thinks, feels and seems to dredge up from his memories and fantasies occurs in the form of a surrealist TV show glimpsed past his tormentor's ear. Meanderings into Starusch's early love life, barely suppressed feelings of violence and real or imagined career in reinforced concrete multiply, not always fruitfully for the reader. Grass, who has long admired Herman Melville, sometimes seems bound to do lightly for dentistry what the author of Moby Dick did for whaling. Symbols clang. Tartar on the teeth, one gathers, is Evil?"calcified hate." Parallels are drawn?and stretched?between...
