...gave up trying to convince her otherwise years ago.) Clearly she should no longer do press conferences unrehearsed. Second, for all her careful planning, Pelosi can be rash, even impetuous, when confronted with a surprise, as she was at her CIA presser. "Her biggest fault? Impatience," says Representative Dennis Cardoza, the only moderate member of Pelosi's leadership team. "She's tenacious. Still, when tenaciousness becomes stubbornness, that becomes a challenge...
...Peterson achieve this consensus? By buying off the reform factions. California Representative Dennis Cardoza and the fruit-and-vegetable lobby agreed to support the bill once Peterson threw $1.6 billion at specialty crops. He added $4.7 billion for nutrition, $4.5 billion for conservation and $100 million for black farmers, which brought progressives, sportsmen and the Congressional Black Caucus into the fold.

In a dissent joined by Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Byron White, Lewis Powell maintained it was reasonable for the INS to find no practical distinction between...
Feinstein's hopes were further buoyed that same Sunday when two Mondale staffers, Peter Kyros and Michael Cardoza, arrived at her house and stayed for four hours. They asked questions about her health, children, previous marriages (Feinstein and one husband had divorced; a second had died) and finances. "They messed up my Sunday," Blum complained with mock seriousness. "They wanted to know everything all the way back to kindergarten." On Monday the aides spent 14 hours at Blum's downtown office, scouring financial records. Blum ordered sandwiches sent in so reporters would not spot the Mondale...
