...crucial aspect of a genre that trades in mortal threat. If the characters holed themselves away in some safe place, they'd never meet the monster. They have to be at risk in order to escape, or get trampled, and for us to get a cheap but essential movie thrill...
...elaborate ritual of dating is how this screening takes place. It's when that process pays off-when you finally feel you've found the right person-that the true-love thrill hits, and studies of the brain with functional magnetic resonance imagers (fMRIs) show why it feels so good.

The earnest coffee mornings in Iowa homes and the packed school gyms in New Hampshire; the air wars - a relentless blitz of TV ads - in megastates such as New York and California; the retail politics as candidates tramp through slush and frozen stubble; the defining moments that summon up memories of campaigns long ago - how come it was OK for Hillary Clinton to tear...
