...beginnings of both their political careers were serendipitous. While working as a wind-surfing instructor on the Delaware shore in the summer of 1980, Reed volunteered as a chauffeur for his neighbor, Representative Tom Evans. The Congressman got Reed his first Washington job: driving around a Republican National Committee bigwig who was distributing presidential cuff links to the faithful. Reed's political godfather was consultant Roger Stone, who saw his charge's talent as an organizer and engineered his rise to deputy regional political director for the Reagan-Bush re-election in 1984.

When she grows up and he notices her, that threatens his engagement, which in turn threatens the merger of two family firms that...

Three months after former press secretary Dee Dee Myers' drunk-driving infraction, White House senior adviser GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS was in handcuffs after he twice bumped a car and cops discovered that his license had expired. "It was an oversight on my part," he said. Within a day, the police were apologetic as well. One told the Washington Post, "The officer just made bad decisions." SEEN & HEARD...
