...family-values issue could conceivably become awkward for the Republicans this year: it invites questions about their responsibility and stewardship, and tempts a backlash. But do Americans accept the idea that Republican values are superior to those of Democrats? Perhaps. A TIME-CNN poll last week found that only 3% of voters consider family values to be the major issue in the campaign. More than one-third said the economy was the major issue, and 19% said unemployment. Only 1% believe abortion should be the main issue...
Well, there is one necessity on Henry's agenda. Bunny -- the unserious one, the blabbermouth, the buffoon -- begins to suspect the quartet of the killing in the field. In general Tartt shows a superior sense of pace, playing off her red herrings and foreshadowings like an old hand at the suspense game. The book's only lag occurs in her needlessly elaborate effort to turn Bunny from a likable pest into someone obnoxious enough for Richard to want to kill (for the others, fear of detection is enough).

Maybe. All sporting contests before they are played contain an element that Princeton basketball coach Pete Carril calls "glorious uncertainty."

"The once-in-a- lifetime game is not going to happen," he says. "The Dream Team will not allow any second shots...
Tradition -- and tourism -- insists the Sagrada Familia is Gaudi's masterpiece. It is not. The Casa Mila and the crypt of the Colonia Guell, among others, are superior. But in any case, not all the best modernista building and decor are by Gaudi. Other and hardly lesser Catalan architects await discovery by the visitor. Two names in particular stand out: Lluis Domenech i Montaner (1850-1923) and Josep Puig i Cadafalch...
