...avalanche of delegates picked on a single day last week, there emerged a curious sort of order. The so-called dwarfs who had swarmed onto debate stages over the past year started to grow, enlarged by the sheer act of winning. Men who seemed implausible as potential Presidents suddenly began to - come into sharper focus as plausible leaders of the nation. Not perfect, to be sure, not yet exciting in most cases, but no longer presumptuous in their ambition. Super Tuesday rearranged the presidential race with unexpected logic and sense...
...costs up to $200 a yard. A lower grade from Iran and Afghanistan goes for $100 a yard. Experiments to breed the goats elsewhere are being tried in Australia, New Zealand, Iowa, Montana and Colorado.

It's disturbing to watch Susan's forceful personality grow into something malicious until she becomes a large blonde cobra spitting venom at her husband, the long-suffering Raymond Brock (Josh Frost). "I married him because he reminded me of my father," she says at a diplomatic gathering. "I didn't realize how much of a shit my father was." And it's mysteriously touching near the end, when she wistfully...
