The National Conservative Political Action Committee has targeted Melcher for defeat and has spent $200,000 in the Montana race...

Franey, who is wearing a tennis shirt and khakis, puts on a blue denim apron that matches Claiborne's. His dogs, a Labrador and a spaniel, array themselves on the red tile floor. He banishes to outer darkness a bottle of strong, dark Italian olive oil, with which Claiborne has been whisking up mayonnaise, and replaces it with a can of clear, rational French olive oil. He is ready. He halves a red pepper, halves a green...
