...Albuquerque, New Mexico, recently, a different Dick Lugar was on display. Here was Richard Green Lugar--Eagle Scout, Rhodes Scholar, jogger, farmer, grandfather--and Republican sex symbol. When the four-term Indiana Senator strode into a cocktail party at the National Federation of Republican Women conference wearing a broad smile and a blue suit, a hundred ladies were all atwitter. A Colorado woman in sequined denim sighed, "He's such a sweetheart!" A gray-haired matron from Florida had a twinkle in her bifocals: "He's even better-looking in person than he is on TV!"

A few display true glamour and grace, but in general this is a triumph of starch over sizzle. The earnestness with which the women sell themselves would make them comfy at a Mary Kay Cosmetics convention. They radiate not fantastic beauty but fanatical effort. For some, striving to be universally liked can trigger the scent of desperation. Horn says, "They are interviewing for a job--the job of Miss America," and the pressure shows...
