...convey the narrator's simultaneous rage at his lover's silent suffering and at his own obliviousness. This is the roughness of love: its strange contradictions, its pain and its insensibility.

It's now possible to try to reconstruct their motivations--a task made more urgent by the saturnalia of lawmaking under way. Mississippi has made murder on school property a capital crime, and Oregon may begin requiring a 72-hour holding period for kids who bring guns to school, as Kinkel did the day before the shooting. Members of Congress are pushing a bill that would crack down on dealers who sell firearms...
