...Republican base would walk away" if McCain was the nominee. Representative Henry Hyde of Illinois, chairman of the House impeachment proceedings, taped a phone message for 100,000 voters, implicitly criticizing McCain for wanting to change the G.O.P's abortion plank to include exceptions for rape and incest--exceptions Bush also supports, though Hyde didn't mention that.

...with the inconclusive questions of human existence. Ilana's narration greets, and scares, the reader first. Ilana is a woman of the old country, probably Russia, who somehow falls in love with a stranger and finds herself in an unnamed American city. Her journey comprises stories of rape and incest, murder and solicitation, placed in a mythical context of forests and magic. A "man in the forest laughing with little pointed teeth" violates her, yet gives her a Faberge egg. This egg becomes the metaphor for Ilana's life and spirituality, though the connection remains weak due to Budnitz...
