Gephardt said what he always says--all he's thinking about now is winning back the House--and hopped into a minivan for another 14-hour day of stumping for his Democrats, who need just six more seats to take the majority. He has raised more than $20 million for this election, doing 92 fund raisers so far this year. Some nights he sits at party headquarters until 11 p.m. dialing for West Coast dollars.

This month King, master of the horror novel, is publishing a collection of short stories, Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales (Scribner). Is this really the final chapter?

...Bush is keeping the energy mood as light and green as he can, posing next to fuel-efficient, low-emissions, hybrid-type cars - a truck, an SUV, and a minivan, no less - but he doesn't appear to be backing down on ANWR or Yucca Mountain.
