...claiming that Hart had spent most of the weekend with a comely blond, a part-time actress named Donna Rice, 29, whose half-clad modeling photos soon graced newsstands across the country. Hart was forced to concede that he had also taken an overnight boat trip from Miami to Bimini with Rice and two other people on a yacht called Monkey Business. But the final blow came when a Washington Post reporter called campaign officials midweek with evidence of a recent liaison between Hart and a Washington woman.

There are morning miles to run and dance classes to attend and weights to lift. These days old Ponce would have swum to Bimini and jogged through Florida. And felt better for it, whether he found that pesky fountain...
