...hold to be very important," said Tom Daschle. "We just think it's premature." Democrats may block Thompson's efforts to begin hearings next month. Several of his key witnesses have already left the country. These 19, Senate aides say, are smaller fish, mostly monks and nuns at a Buddhist temple who gave the DNC money after a notorious fund-raiser attended by Gore.

"He goes to the temple with her occasionally. She's a devout Buddhist. He wears a family heirloom Buddha around his neck. He's a hybrid of a lot of things, and that's how he sees himself. He honestly sees himself as a somewhat separate person from the norm--not in terms of talent but in terms of his makeup...
