A liberal Democratic senator from California, on the eve of a confirmation vote, is given damaging information about a conservative Supreme Court nominee.

What to do?

U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and her collaborator, Mary-Rose Hayes, fill in the blanks in a compelling novel, “A Time to Run” (368 pages, Chronicle Books, $14.95).  Naturally, the liberal heroes outwit the right-wing baddies, but this story is more about friendship and betrayal than standard political thriller. If you see the author’s name and expect a polemic, take a closer look. “A Time to Run” is political fare made palatable by a generous blend of humanity.
