...Miami Beach the Republicans strove for harmony and produced monotony. In Chicago this week, the Democrats seemed certain to offer more discord than unity. Their presidential nominating convention shaped up like Combat in civvies. As the contenders battled bitterly over credentials, the platform and seating arrangements, there was a strong possibility that in the armed-camp atmosphere that prevailed outside the International Amphitheatre, police and demonstrators would clash...

As such, they might have more appeal to a broader spectrum of voters than they have had in the past, when they owed their ultimate allegiance to a foreign power.

Hence, even before Worthington gets to recall key cameos of himself-as a boy who once foolishly stole, as a young man who was once seduced by an older woman-there are overlong, superficial ruminations and cop-out digressions on the mechanics and nature of memory itself. Finally, in due meandering course, Worthington remembers a first wife who two-timed him and a second wife who two-timed...
