...Plains region ever since, with a unicameral legislative body composed of 49 nonpartisan Senators. For half a century, Nebraska has been one of the most Republican states in presidential elections--and has had three Republican U.S. Representatives since the 1960s--but has kept both its Senators Democrat. With James Exon retiring, however, that could change.

Much of it has been based on a 14-page memo from economists advising the campaign that has been widely leaked but was only a preliminary version of what wound...

Kassebaum, who is chairman of the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, joins fellow GOP senator Hank Brown and Democrats Bill Bradley, James Exon, Howell Helflin, Bennett Johnston, Sam Nunn, Claiborne Pell, David Pryor and Paul Simon in leaving the Senate after the 1996 elections. Kassebaum, 63, says she intends to devote herself to her family and adds that she is not interested in coming back to Washington in any capacity...
