...stay at the paper for the next 70 years, and he instantly befriended the cinemarati. One of his first film works, which he dubbed All at Sea, was of Chaplin on a yacht with his young protegee, Paulette Goddard, "as trim as shiny as a trout." The Little Tramp, like Cooke an English emigre, asked him to work on a script about Napoleon. (Later the actor-director told Cooke, "It's a beautiful idea, for somebody else," and that was that...
Walt Disney started out with a mouse, 80 years ago this week, but his company has done all right by dogs too.

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 up in New Hampshire when the same human frailty damned Ed Muskie there in 1972? There is a vitality and color to all of this...
