...realize both his father's dream and his own, Al Gore is trying to set himself starkly apart from the rest of the Democratic contenders, much to their recent fury. With the decision of Dale Bumpers, Bill Clinton and Sam Nunn to remain on the sidelines, Gore became the only Southerner in the race, a fact he rarely fails to mention during his frequent forays through the region. When Gore is campaigning in Arkansas and Texas, his accent changes subtly as "my" becomes "mah" and "narrow" becomes "narrah." He also proclaims himself a "raging moderate," a distinction he has increasingly...
...always said it was the devil's music. So why shouldn't the father of '50s rock 'n' roll look like every white kid's slumber-party dream of Satan? A slim body, supple as sin.

In analyzing their visions, dreamworkers often find solutions to their problems. Indeed, says San Francisco's Delaney, nighttime images are a "reflection of your own mind considering challenges that...
...puddle of notoriety into oceans of money plus exotic life-styles. Culprits do it, victims do it, innocent bystanders do it. Even an ordeal equals opportunity. Rescued in the Yukon, where a 1963 plane crash delivered her to seven weeks of subzero weather, Helen Klaban exulted over a dream come true: "Hey, I'm a celebrity!" Her book, Hey, I'm Alive, duly followed...
