That job fell to Dale Bumpers, the four-term, just-retired Arkansas Senator who would come to the chamber to play the coda. The idea for his appearance, in fact, sprang from the Senate floor. Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin was troubled by how the Republican managers were like next-door neighbors who knew how to talk across the fence--even to Democrats. At the defense table, however, sat a bunch of strangers...
...done it again--posthumously. Eleven years after he dropped dead of a heart attack at 60, Bob Fosse has two shows running side by side on Broadway. Fosse, a retrospective of dances from such musicals as Sweet Charity, Damn Yankees and The Pajama Game, opened last week right next door to the long-running revival of Chicago, the 1975 show that sealed Fosse's reputation as the most gifted musical-comedy director of his generation. Not bad for a self-doubting perfectionist who, even though he was the only person ever to win an Oscar, a Tony and an Emmy...

There will be more...
...estimates to obtain a more accurate count of the population in likely Democratic areas. Past studies have shown that poorer people living in inner-city areas -- and presumed to vote Democratic -- have been harder to reach and thus often undercounted when direct methods, such as mail-in questionnaires or door-to-door inquiries, have been used. "Whatever the correctness of the legal interpretation," says Pooley, "the decision is wrong on the reality. Every responsible analyst has said there is a serious undercounting without sampling adjustments in certain areas of the country." As a result, the 2000 census is expected...
