...Cobbe collection includes works handed down from the family of the third Earl of Southampton, Shakespeare's only known patron. (The Bard made most of his money the hard way, by running a theater company.) Shakespeare dedicated to the earl both of his long-narrative poems, Venus and Adonis in 1593 and The Rape of Lucrece in 1594.

Yet that ladder goes only so high. The greensward of the Rawalpindi Golf Club teases the poor with dreams of the good life, but its gates are firmly closed...
McConnell and Bunning will come together this Saturday for another Lincoln Day dinner in Corbin, a hard-scrabble town in the eastern Kentucky mountains. They are likely to play nice, but McConnell may still see a man who can't win in 2010. If so, Bunning will make sure it's a problem that belongs to McConnell as much as it does to himself...
