...have been trying to shake the idea that they are too slight for the jobs they seek. Both hope that attacking their opponents' character will propel them to victory. And both have stumbled into autumn. Lazio has been criticized by Republicans for a soft, lackadaisical campaign--more a lope than a run. He took a four-day vacation just as the race was heating up, had little to say about policy until recently, and favored short, almost content-free events; behind the scenes, he raised so much money that he now has more cash on hand than Clinton.

...Washington does in New Hampshire. Polls show that McCain's support in that state has jumped 10 points in the past month, leaving him with 21% of likely Republican primary voters, compared with 40% for George W. Bush.

Dramatic crackerjack that it is, Fuente Ovejuna still lands its director in all sorts of difficulties. Lope de Vega sticks to the courtly writing conventions of his day: his shepherds display admirable eloquence, intellectual curiosity and a penchant for Socratic dialogue; his washerwomen have quicker wits and sharper tongues than Oscar Wilde, and all his characters indulge a fondness for spontaneous poetry in the throes of battle, rape and torture.
