...press attention that has been mounting since she became a best-selling first novelist. During some early interviews, she mentioned that her beginning work on the Harry Potter books corresponded briefly with a bad patch in her personal life.

To keep them both warm, she would wheel her young daughter into a cafe and sometimes jot down Harry Potter ideas on napkins...

From a strict cost-benefit standpoint, the best showing may have been that of Elizabeth Dole, who spent less than either top dog George W. Bush or runner-up Steve Forbes and captured a strong 3,410 votes (14.4 percent). While that respectable finish still didn't present a serious threat to George W., it did position her as a strong contender for the veep seat...
