...ISSUE Infighting Accuracy Rate Momentum Expectation-Setting ACTION The unseemly spectacle of anonymous Palin allies' criticizing her handling by McCain staffers, followed by McCain aides sliming Palin as a "diva" and "whack job," was too alluring for the media to ignore. In comparison, Obama's arch remark that Joe Biden can be given to "rhetorical flourishes" looked positively friendly. Another typical week in the message wars. Democrats methodically fired laser-guided missiles at McCain (that he's in lockstep with Bush and represents more of the same), while Republicans hurled every pot and pan within reach at the Teflon opposition...

...Democratic Tilt? We read Joe Klein's "The Obama Surge" in my English class [Oct. 20]. We had heard about Klein's bias toward the Democrats, but this column took it too far. There was not a single complimentary remark about McCain or a single negative one about Obama. Klein also noted that McCain seems awkward because of his physical impairments. This was insulting and, I believe, irrelevant to voters. McCain has sacrificed far more for his country than Klein ever will. Peter Fitzpatrick, Norwell, Massachusetts...

...Theft," by Don Morrison [Oct. 27]: Picasso may be indicted for many crimes against art, but plagiarism is not one of them. The photos you published show no resemblance between his works and the ones they are supposedly copied from. The article ends by quoting Picasso's remark that "art has neither a past nor a future." A quotation more revealing of Picasso's attitude to art might have been: "Titian and Rembrandt were great painters: I am only a public entertainer who has understood...the imbecility, the vanity, the stupidity of his contemporaries." Having fooled a generation of "masters...

...clear that not only will he greatly outspend the Republicans in all battleground states, but he'll also have enough left over to make a last-minute play for some deep red states as well. Republicans finally found a message to sink their teeth into, going after Obama's remark to Joe the Plumber that he wants to "spread the wealth around" with his tax policy and Joe Biden's suggestion that a President Obama would face a foreign crisis soon after taking office. The attacks didn't transform the race, but the rare Democratic missteps were efficiently exploited...

...practice of the Chinese traditions that she has kept out of her apartment. Mr. Shi, fresh off the airplane, steps into a world unaffected by 9/11, where everyone he meets is friendly, kind, and eager to make conversation with a foreigner. Never is he met with a racist remark or uncharitable gesture. In fact, the only unkind words come from his own daughter. The man the audience meets is not the austere, reserved father who never talked about family problems that Yilan remembers from her childhood. Nor is he the stereotypical Asian father who comes from a patriarchal society...
