There was enough momentum, even before the video hit the airwaves, for the logic of resignation to penetrate Clinton's inner circle. It's not fair, it's not right that Clinton should be impeached, one longtime adviser said.

That scene captures some of Danticat's essence. Her pleasant serenity in person is really evidence of her inner confidence, her ability to stay calm and focused despite whatever is around her. The Farming of Bones recounts tales of horror, but it never turns purple, never spins wildly into the fantastic, always remains focused, with precise, disciplined language, and in doing so, it uncovers moments of raw humanness. This is a book that, confronted with corpses, has the cold-eyed courage to find a smile...
