...fevered pitch for them to leap at multimillionaire Steve Forbes' offer to join his hired caravan to the city of Ames next week. That's where diehard Republicans will gather on Aug. 14 for a day of speeches and tub-thumping and then cast a vote for one of 11 candidates. The Iowa poll, when it was invented 20 years ago, was a fund-raising gimmick by the party to tap into campaign war chests by making the front runners and the foolhardy pay for the privilege of participating. But with a front-loaded primary season and George W. Bush...
...wraps his wrists and ankles, pulls a rubber respirator over his head and climbs more than 200 ft. into the narrow space between the Capitol's inner and outer domes. Gilbo, who lives in Georgetown, Mass., is part of a 10-man crew removing poisonous lead paint from cast-iron walls in temperatures that regularly soar above 100[degrees]F.

They're looking for not just love but also victory, over male entitlement, over a culture that despises older single women and over myths they can't compete with. In a pointed scene, the four watch a video in which a woman climaxes two seconds into a sex scene. "No wonder men are so lost," Miranda says. "They have...
...debut issue of Ms. Brown?s new venture the hottest item on this week?s newsstands, it?s not entirely clear that it?ll bounce her clear of New York mayor Rudy Giuliani in what?s shaping up to be a closely-contested Senate race. "Her enemies like to cast her as cold, calculating and ambitious, and sharing her own pain in this interview helps to humanize her," says McAllister. "But that won?t necessarily change anyone?s mind about whether or not they want her representing them in the Senate." And -- wouldn?t you know it -- just...
