There have been occasional revelations that public figures suffer from the illness, including Attorney General Janet Reno, the boxer Mohammed Ali and Pope John Paul II.

But you failed to mention that it was perhaps due to her efforts that Chuck Schumer in New York managed to knock off Senator Pothole, AI D'Amato and Barbara Boxer was re-elected in California. And what about all the House candidates she campaigned for? Do you even have an inkling as to how they performed in the election?
