Elsewhere, the capital's reigning power couple, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole and Wife Liddy, the Secretary of Transportation, presided over a $500-a-head cocktail bash for the new Dole Foundation, which benefits the handicapped. Colorado Brewer Joseph Coors threw a wingding on behalf of a conservative political-action committee; for $1,000 guests got to gamble away complimentary chips aboard the docked riverboat First Lady...
