So it was a bit odd that a 5-ft.-tall oil painting of Henry Hyde was unveiled two weeks ago in a ceremony off limits to the press--and just as Hyde was facing the defining test of his 40 years in politics. More than 200 people--friends, family and constituents--applauded the presentation of the image: the hulking House Judiciary Committee chairman standing between his "Turkish" leather chair and a bust of Lincoln.

Snyderman is chancellor of Duke University Medical Center, so for him to be looking in on patients is a bit like Bill Gates debugging code on a Windows program. Still, it's something he does one month every year, usually in June, like most other doctors at Duke. Right now he's checking on the progress of James McAllister, 73, who has a spinal tumor.
