...most vulnerable to the comparison. "There's been a paradigm shift in politics, and I don't think Bob gets it," says Jan Anton, a California entrepreneur who was the state co-chair for Dole in '88 but is leaning toward Forbes this time. "Dole's a wheeler-dealer. He's just trying to hang on and avoid mistakes. Forbes is an outsider. He has a clear, coherent message, and he has the money to tell his story. So he can't be blocked...
...late 1994, according to the police, Berenson arrived in Peru with a Panamanian arms dealer named Pacifico Castrellon and rented a three-story house in the Lima suburb of La Molina. She registered as a journalist, and her neighbors knew her only as a quiet gringa with a radiant smile. Berenson and Castrellon, Peruvian police say, were sent together to Peru to meet Miguel Rincon, second-in-command of the MRTA. Castrellon and Rincon, investigators told journalists, both have implicated Berenson.

...paintings carry stories, but only in their titles. The blue lintel and green tongue of paint in Gossip, 1994-95, are not going to tell you what the gossip was about.

As his mistress replies wearily, "That's probably what my husband says to his mistress about me." Loli is indeed constant, until she meets Marijo (Balasko), a butch musician. Marijo fulfills all the popular lesbian stereotypes: she has short hair, a gruff manner and a weight problem; in the kitchen she's better with wrenches than with sauces. But she also has a knack for intimacy, and that's what Loli desperately needs...
LAST WEDNESDAY WAS A BIG night for House Speaker Newt Gingrich. About 75 supporters were gathered at the Washington mansion of auto dealer Mandell Ourisman and his wife Mary, a former official of GOPAC, the political-action committee Gingrich headed until last May. The occasion was a fund raiser for his newest PAC, called Monday Morning. For a couple of pleasant hours the guests picked at their beef tenderloin, admired the Ourismans' baby grand piano and chatted up the most powerful man in Congress. At $1,000 a couple, the posh event yielded more than $30,000 in campaign money...
