...caucus-goers to be social or religious conservatives, twice the percentage that participated when Dole won in 1988. Reed's goal is for Dole to attract about one-fifth of that constituency, which he believes will be enough to give Dole 40% of the overall vote, a knockout blow. That's the chief reason Dole attacks what he believes are "Hollywood's nightmares of depravity" whenever he visits the state. And it helps explain why Dole's new 30-second television ad, which promises tax cuts worth "$330 million for Iowa families," touts a "conservative agenda for change." Last week...

"I think she wants [Blair's] head--understandably...
...sorry for Di, since she's paid infinitely better than anyone else in the same line of work. A surrogate mother in the U.S. gets about $10,000 for the nine-month-long job of transforming some fellow's sperm into a viable infant--an amount Di could easily blow on cashmeres and facials in an afternoon. And while the surrogate mom gets shown to the door as soon as the baby's delivered, Di lingers on, posing for photographers and visiting hospices, at an allowance of up to $4,000 a week for clothing alone...
