...ladies are arrested and land in the custody of a nasty prison matron ("Think of me as a mother - who eats her young"). The Von Tussles get sprung because Amber once had done a, let's call it a favor for the governor. Tracy is aghast, as any good Democrat would be, in 1962 or 2000: "Manipulating the judicial system just to win a contest is unethical!" Tracy, alone in her cell, is visited by the now lovestruck Link. "You look beautiful!" he rhapsodizes, and she replies, "It must be the low-watt institutional lighting." Is the lighting...

Of the 34 Senate races, 16 seats are truly in play; control of the body is likely to turn on the outcome of tight contests in Colorado, New Hampshire, Missouri, Georgia, Arkansas and elsewhere, which makes the Republicans' fund-raising edge all the more valuable. This will be the last election fluffed up by unlimited soft-money donations before the new campaign-finance laws kick in. Democrats have raised...
