...Also, we learned that rooting against someone would have been really stupid, because the SciTech Award winners are chosen long before the event in a deliberative process a lot more like evaluating a doctoral thesis than watching a DVD of Little Miss Sunshine.

That means his unintended comments about black presidential candidates deserve less weight, not more.

A relentlessly intelligent, funny, and kind writer, he's endlessly interested in stupid, humorless, cruel people, and in his new book House of Meetings (Knopf; 256 pages) he turns for a fresh supply of them to Stalin-era Russia. Ranging back and forth from frozen Arctic prison camps to the unseemly capitalist free-for-all of the post-Soviet era, House of Meetings...
