...this practice goes way beyond reading. I sit and watch some political commentator on television and write in the margins of the air. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY? An acquaintance slithers into some self-aggrandizing prevarication. I write, LIAR! A nice, honest moment occurs in the new, good movie Traffic when the U.S. drug czar, Michael Douglas, falters in the middle of a false and insincere speech, and you can see his conscience writing marginalia on his claptrap.

Don't believe a word spoken by Gore campaign chairman Bill Daley: "All he does is lie." Hillary Clinton is "the witch" and, in an allusion to Vincent Foster's death, "the First Murderer." Half of America - the Democratic half - is "socialist." Or worse. After all, Gore won the popular vote because "Communist Kate Couric" and the rest of the media "prayed...
