...imagery in recasting himself as the ultimate guerrilla insurgent, scorned by his party and tormented by the press. Of course, some of this live-off-the-land posturing is preposterous. Hart squandered the strongest and most dedicated organization in the Democratic Party last spring for a reckless tryst with Donna Rice, an event that vividly confirmed concerns about his judgment and his character. Even now, as Hart gleefully brandishes his wallet containing $60 as his entire campaign treasury, he hopes to qualify for $1 million in federal matching funds, based on the contributions he raised before he initially withdrew from...
...bitterness of the Democratic establishment toward Hart is palpable. Party Chairman Paul Kirk publicly affirmed that Hart was acting selfishly and said, "Donna Rice is going to be relevant." Charles Whitehead, the Florida chairman, snapped, "If he is a candidate, I am going to Europe during the convention."

At first, this protean display seems the equivalent of a Save the Children billboard on Sunset Strip: "Won't someone please nominate this girl for an Oscar?" But Hunter, 29 and 5 ft. 2 in., is no late entry in the prima donna sweepstakes. She is a hardscrabble sprite from Conyers, Ga., a dues payer from off-Broadway (Beth Henley's The Miss Firecracker Contest) and off-Hollywood (Joel and Ethan Coen's Raising Arizona) whose only eccentricity, says Joel Coen, "is how easy she is to work with." She has built...
...flak, much of it deserved, for a long profile of Hart she wrote this summer in Vanity Fair. Sheehy went on and on with cheap pop psychological insights into Hart's upbringing while trying to answer the question "Why would Gary Hart want to sleep with a woman like Donna Rice?" She cited his stern mother and their even sterner Church as the source of his incessant womanizing...
