...volunteering for her uncle Ted's campaigns and stumping for local and congressional Democratic candidates. But two years after the family moved to David's home state of Maryland, in 1984, she decided to run for a congressional seat. The district was strongly Republican and the Democrats were in disarray, but Kathleen told her husband, "Someone has to run, and this is where my kids are going to grow up." She ran as a Townsend and lost. "That loss was good for her," says former U.S. Senator Joe Tydings, who has been close to the family for decades. "Kathleen...
...have to wait for a new president and Congress." Meanwhile, of course, those "little things" will go a long way toward wooing seniors over to the Democratic half of the voting booth in 2000.

Elizabeth Dole, purely on a whim, drops out to run a bed-and-breakfast in Mendocino County, Calif. With the rest of the field in disarray, Gary Bauer squeaks through in California to take the nomination. Greatly relieved by that vision, the Powers of the Democratic Party get out of bed and go out to raise more money for Al Gore...
...make immediate appointments while the Senate is in recess (Senators are now enjoying a 10-day Memorial Day break). His action puts Hormel in the job until the end of the next Senate session, which conveniently coincides with the end of the Clinton presidency. With Republicans currently in disarray over how to enact their budget- and tax-cutting agenda, reports TIME congressional correspondent John Dickerson, the President decided this could be an easy political pickup for him at little political cost -- and with solid appeal to some of his more liberal constituencies.
