...been a trying week. On Tuesday evening, 10 minutes before the State of the Union address, a slight, ponytailed man named Andrew Bleiler, 32, stood with his wife in front of their home in Portland, Ore., and confessed to a five-year affair with Lewinsky. He said it started when she was 19 and he was a stage-production teacher at Beverly Hills High, that he tried to end the entanglement in 1993 after both had moved to Oregon, but that Lewinsky threatened to tell his wife Kathlyn. And so the affair lasted until last April. The Bleilers' lawyer, Terry...

Who knows how long it would take a teacher to regain control of giggling fourth-graders after that three-letter bomb exploded in class...
...apartment. The novel, of course, must get them back together. But the narration is chaotic, scattered, raisined with fathomless almanac entries ("February 3, 1874--Gertrude Stein born at Allegheny, Pennsylvania"). Coherence rarely proceeds more than a few pages in any direction. This fragmented account, however, fits the fragmented love affair. The result is a brilliant and convincing urban mindscape, despite the irrelevant happenstance of the new year's numbing zeroes...
