...switch to the ballgame.This ennui must stem from the penny-ante poker that the major news outlets have been playing for months on end. If this race is as revolutionary and unpredictable as we keep being told it is, why leave its coverage to the lumpy, petit-bourgeois benchwarmers puttering around this or that Washington bureau?

...slow breakfast with a tenderly folded (nay, lovingly tamed!) New York Times resting on the table beside my cereal.
