...them back as soon as He'd given them, but He threw them away if their souls were still stained. He delivered them soiled but expected them back spotless." Even better than Doyle's epigrams, though, are his lengthy battle scenes, which are both chaotic and precise, capturing the fog of war as well as the warrior's uncanny clarity. Sneaking through the darkened countryside, holing up in safe houses and hedges, escaping on bicycle from spies and sentries, Henry grows from a rebel on a lark into a savvy I.R.A. assassin...

"We could well be looking at Yeltsin's nightmare ticket for the coming presidential elections: Primakov for president and Luzhkov as prime minister," says TIME Moscow bureau chief Paul Quinn-Judge.

...Bush to come pray with her, which she expects within the next two weeks, before she makes up her mind. While Bush has so much of the country's attention, will he prove Ford wrong and lead us someplace instead of blowing $60 million on slick ads and a fog machine of road-tested, split-the-difference platitudes? He could lead, not follow, and woo the Christian right by bringing them along, not just kneeling down with them...
