...have to make up for the shortfall by distributing a total of 24.5 billion lbs. of food in the next six years--enough to fill 5 million Army National Guard trucks. Second Harvest says it cannot possibly handle that increasing demand. Already some pantries have had to ration their dole-outs to families and single parents with children. Other organizations feel the impact as well. Share Our Strength, a Washington-based nonprofit organization, provides funding for more than 500 food-based groups. "Many of the agencies we support are seeing big jumps," says Bill Shore, the group's executive director...
Nine months after evidence of foreign cash in U.S. politics surfaced in the last days of the 1996 campaign, Americans know that both Democrats and Republicans were so desperate for the unrestricted dole of "soft money" that they went overseas to find more. Either directly or through middlemen, both parties turned to Overseas Chinese businessmen with large commercial interests in the People's Republic of China for multimillion-dollar cash infusions. Both parties gave their benefactors a fair hearing on party trade policy toward China, and both maintained elaborate ruses to hide their new sources of cash. Yet the Democrats...
Ethnic lobbying groups such as the Polish American Congress had already begun flooding the White House and Capitol Hill with telegrams demanding that NATO enlarge. Bob Dole and the House Republican Contract with America backed expansion.

"The idea that Reagan brought down the Berlin Wall, Bush unified Germany, and Clinton will unite Europe sounded good at 1600 Pennsylvania...
...Bill Clinton's trash. "What are you doing in here?" demands a Clintonite catching him pawing the garbage. "I'm supposed to meet George [Stephanopoulos] here for a drink," lies Lewis, successfully. The second trick was to stick with the losers. Lewis does due diligence by Clinton and Bob Dole, but spends most of his time listening to Morry Taylor's curses, Pat Buchanan's poetry and Alan Keyes' messianic rantings. The result is like a pointillist painting: up close, these events are a sea of bright dots; step back, and they are a captivation of the splendor, spirit...
...erode. High school bands in swing states will go back to playing at football games instead of political rallies. Our airwaves can be reclaimed in the name of products we don't need, after having been temporarily subjugated by candidates we don't want. It is all over. Bob Dole, who first faced the voters at age 27, has waged his last campaign and lost. Bill Clinton, who ran his first race at age 28, has waged his last campaign...
