...from California Congressman Paul McCloskey, who is seeking liberal Republican votes in New Hampshire. But Ashbrook could prove to be more of a threat. Though upset over many of the President's policies, the conservative wing of the party has so far been loyal. Ashbrook gives them another option.

They can poke peevishly in the guttering embers of empire and the grate of memory flickers with glories past. David Storey has an option on this territory, and he looks back more in grief than in anger. He searches for the severed link with the imperial past. How did today's termites, he seems to ask, descend from yesterday's titans? He is a dramatic laureate of loss...
