...eight years in the political wilderness turned out to be a blessing, Hu said to me, because it forced the party to reinvent itself - for the better. No longer did the KMT regard running Taiwan as its birthright; instead it started to address people's needs and concerns, and to earn, rather than command, their respect. The core policy of reunification with the mainland under the KMT, always a far-fetched idea, was put on the backburner. And old-guard mainlanders, who had run the party for so long, realized they had to give way to younger leaders such...
Memories - with their power to seduce, to reinvent, to torment - are what fuel A Partisan's Daughter, Louis de Bernières's quiet yet moving new novel set in London in 1979, during the strikebound Winter of Discontent. As recounted by Chris years later, it's an aching tale of love and loss in which the protagonists embody the profound but fragile relationships strangers can build and the pain of intimacy corrupted.

You can get away with changing a position -perhaps Romney really did see the light on abortion, not just the results of an Iowa focus group - but you can't just reinvent yourself out of whole cloth. You can go negative on your opponents, but it's a stretch to attack them for taking the same positions - on immigration, most notably - that you used to take, especially when you keep getting caught having illegals tend your garden. The sheer cynicism is driving Romney's Republican opponents nuts. He is wildly unpopular among his peers...
