Readers should therefore be forewarned that "The World of Edward Gorey," which also features an interview with Gorey by the artist Clifford Ross, is not an ideal introduction to his work. The best way to become acquainted with Gorey's world is to read the originals.

Wednesday's debate will be conducted in much the same style as the debate in 1992 town-hall meeting in Richmond where Clinton easily and comfortably outshone George Bush and Ross Perot. The format could spell bad news for Dole, both because he is not as accomplished as Clinton in off-the-cuff responses and because audience member might not ask a question that would allow him to bring up the ethics issues. The audience, screened by the Gallup organization...
