...SCREWED UP? The finger pointed directly at U.S. spy agencies: prewar knowledge of Saddam's WMD was "dead wrong." Most of the material it was based on was "either worthless or misleading." Important for the President, the report states that his Administration didn't pressure intelligence analysts to support its conclusions about Iraq. The panel passed on the issue of whether senior officials hyped the bad info to justify the invasion...

...just old enough for the bottom to start falling out of things," as one character puts it--and suffocating in a Stepford-perfect marriage. "I lived molded to the smallest space possible," she says, "my days the size of little beads that passed without passion through my fingers." When word arrives that her mom has cut off her index finger in a fit of religious mania, Jessie rushes off to take care of her, back to the tiny island off the coast of South Carolina where Jessie grew up.
