Rumsfeld had changed from his suit jacket to an old gray cardigan, and took a seat in his large, spare Pentagon office. His huge desk was behind him, but it lacked a chair because he prefers to work standing up; he thinks better that way. What else has changed since 1976? he was asked. He looked as though he wasn't sure where to begin. The Congress, he said, the power of congressional staff, the number of restrictions lawmakers place on the military. And the defense contractors. "They have gone from a lot to a few, and they have activities...
Hanging over all is the specter of Jimmy Carter in his sweater lowering the thermostat to 68[degrees]. There were worse fashion statements in the '70s than that Mister Rogers-inspired cardigan, but what ridicule the man took for urging citizens to layer their outerwear!

"Whenever you set up a heart-vs.-head thing, people always tend to say the heart is better. I think it's not as simple as that. Assumptions or prejudices are often emotional; if you look at things logically, you can often realize what things are and work through them...
...hungrier candidate carrying the day. Throughout the early debates of the primary season, Gore repeatedly told Bradley: "Bill, this is not an academic exercise." And while Gore hired feminist image specialist Naomi Wolf to help convert him into a power-suit-wearing Alpha Male, Bradley remained the genteel, cardigan-wearing policy wonk he was known for being on the Senate floor. Bradley also suffered by having the air sucked out of his campaign by the fierce battle between John McCain and George W. Bush. After Bradley's strong showing in the Feb. 1 New Hampshire primary, the public focused...
