...dead with your sister in games of rescue and abandonment." The poem "Self-Help for Fellow Refugees" opens with his father being bundled into a truck by either government forces or fearsome freelance thugs.

The McCain campaign hopes to contain the Obama advantage by depending heavily on the Republican Party machinery, which has a historically superior general election get-out-the-vote operation. As a result, the campaign has been encouraging wealthy donors to give even...
