While 250,000 American troops are stationed in Saudi Arabia and many more are preparing to join them, Bush has made no attempt to gain authorization for an offensive capability from the only body that can constitutionally declare war--the United States Congress.

He notes with disgust that even in the most literate city in North America (that's Boston), the leading paper (the Globe, though he deplores its preachiness) barely bothers to scrape together a Sunday book-review section. And justifies this lapse (says Higgins, a onetime Globe columnist) because it doesn't get enough book ads. "Does the Globe's sports section get enough ads for baseball gloves and hockey sticks? No. That's where you see ads for snow + tires. Don't book readers use snow tires...
