...ready to go home, released by Saeed, who wrote in her chart that while she still appeared depressed, she was eating and sleeping "much better." Hospital workers noted that in group therapy, she would still say nothing except her name. Nurses noted that her affect was "flat," her mood "somber" and her judgment still "impaired"; however, she was showering and eating with "minimal prompting." So Rusty took Andrea home...
...days--even for songs he has sung forever--repeating them until they're second nature. When the time comes to record, the words pour out with different emphases on each take. (On Cold, Cold Heart, the shift from a brisk apart to a drawn-out uhhhh-part tips the mood from disdain to misery.)

Matt Towery, a former aide to Newt Gingrich who is now an independent pollster and commentator, sees reasons for the G.O.P. to be worried that have nothing to do with Abramoff. "The party has misjudged the public's mood. Between the flag and gay marriage, we're running a faith and family-values campaign in a year when the public wants to deal with immigration, tax reform and energy costs," Towery says. But Cagle was nearly identical to Reed on the issues. Both presented themselves as religious conservatives, and both were endorsed by Georgia Right to Life. The problem...
