Solomont gave the party $160,000 and helped raise $1.1 million more from nursing-home owners. But his most remarkable--and dubious--accomplishment was successfully lobbying the President's appointees for regulatory changes while chairing his party's Business Council of $10,000-a-year donors. This is the same council that handed the Democratic National Committee $1 million a week after Clinton heralded its "reform" era with such new leaders as Solomont...

Though the Christian right held her up as its poster girl, her Bible beating turned off the public at large. Along with her popularity, she eventually lost a $100,000-a-year contract with the Florida Citrus Commission. Her 20-year marriage to manager Bob Green also ended. Bryant had once denounced divorce as a sin; today, it seems, she's been reborn. In 1990 she married former NASA test crewman Charlie Dry, a childhood sweetheart from Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Last year...
