...hamstringing the PACs, Congressmen would be denying themselves a heavy advantage that they now enjoy over challengers: three-fourths of PAC contributions go to incumbents. Officeholders who won re-election last year with 70% or more of the vote got $19.1 million from PAC pockets. The Boren proposal would restrict PAC contributions to a total of $100,000 for a House candidate and up to $750,000 for Senate aspirants, based on state population. The PAC limits could be proposed again in the spring--a dim prospect when 34 Senators, many fueled with PAC money, will be starting their...

Their lifestyle and demeanor are accessible to the average Yankee viewer, yet their politics have been slandered from here...
...whole, The Sorceror suffers less from such strains as from lack of energy and an oddly somber tone. One's expectations for the liveliness of a Gilbert and Sullivan highlight this failing. If you've never seen a Gilbert and Sullivan play before, you might enjoy this performance. But if you've seen one before, you may not want to see them...
