...talk about process, Kerry in his own way is doing the same thing; at some level this choice may come down to a gut check. It was political palm reader Bill Clinton who warned his fellow Democrats that in dangerous times, people may prefer a leader who is strong and wrong to one who is weak and right.

A bunch of mobsters arrested in the '80s get paroled ("The Class of '04," the media dub them), including Tony Blundetto (Steve Buscemi), who went to jail for a heist Tony Soprano was supposed to be on. Determined to go straight, "Tony B." is driving a linen-delivery truck while working to become...
