...Operation Shylock by Philip Roth. The uncontested master of comic irony comes up with another ticklish situation: a writer named Philip Roth journeys to Israel to confront a Philip Roth imposter who is trying to persuade Jews to go back to Europe and re-establish Yiddish culture. This new Diaspora aims to avert an Arab-engineered Holocaust by returning Israelis to the countries of their ancestors. Seriously funny about Middle East madness, Roth riffs with an abandon not seen since Portnoy's Complaint...
...both had invested too much in the process to let it founder. Shrewdly, they delegated the day-to-day haggling to subordinates. And the leading understudies, government minister Roelof Meyer, 46, and A.N.C. secretary-general Cyril Ramaphosa, 41, eventually came through with the crucial compromise: an agreement to establish a government of national unity for five years after the first free elections in April.

Coming out of a Penn timeout with the scored tied...

The President needs conservatives as he goes into battle to defend his faltering Iraq policy, his eroding support on spending, and his plan to establish a guest worker program for immigrants, which is dividing Republicans like few other issues. But it's not just his policies that are in danger; his presidency is hampered by a CIA leak investigation and trials that could cripple him for his remaining 39 months in office. Now the President...
