The smiles in the White House China Room came from Birthday Girl Amy Carter and 14 of her Washington schoolmates and chums. With Halloween shortly following Amy's tenth birthday party, the kiddie celebrants carved up pumpkins, gulped down hamburgers and punch, then settled back for a Frankenstein movie. Mom and Dad may have been anticipating colder days ahead, however. Their gift? A sled for Amy's winter visits to Camp David...

He tells himself he is not one of those sympathetic lost characters out of Chekhov but the insane amputee in a story by Gogol who places an ad for the return of his lost nose. What Roth succeeds in portraying, though, with all the delicacy and poignancy of the Russian dramatist, is that Kepesh is in fact a figure from a Chekhov novel. Not a warped, disfigured monster but a man whose constant pursuit of love reveals the tragic-comic dimensions of our own lives...
