...convincingly. Instead of going for the jugular, he often feints and pricks without cutting deep. Too often he seems to think out loud, and his hand gestures tend to be imperfectly synced with his speech. In a recent address at the Illinois capital, his lampoon of Mondale had a schoolboy quality. "I must say, I'd hate to be Walter Mondale these days," said Bush. "I do, I honestly do feel sorry for Fritz Mondale at times. He's a negative sort of guy.

Scottie follows Madeleine up and down the hills of San Francisco, a vertiginous setting where even the streets have lost their balance. At first he is the detective tracking his suspect; then he is an infatuated schoolboy duped by glamour; he could also be the moviegoer transfixed by the light on the screen, or a director turning an actress into a fantasy figure or a psychoanalyst falling in love with his patient-falling, always falling, into and out of a dream that keeps slipping beyond his reach.
