...Democratic front runners. What if the leading candidates whack away at one another in TV ads and the personable Richardson sneaks into first or second? On the Republican side, John McCain is having something of a rally. If the situation in Iraq continues to improve and the other Republicans slip and slide, couldn't the old warrior pull off an upset? And what happens to a front runner once he or she stumbles? The week after its defeat by Appalachian State, Michigan was still favored by a touchdown over Oregon. Michigan lost...

But if Sonthi does enter the race, he could end up delivering the election to the very forces he tried to suppress with last...
...find ourselves in France. Anna, estranged from her family, has come here to research the life of a dead writer named Lucien Segura. She moves into the writer's house, takes long country walks, and falls for a man with a guitar. Then we slip again - this time into Segura's life. We hear about what made him a writer; how he dealt with the sexual tussles between his two daughters; about his experiences in World War I. And now the hawk has ended its flight...
