...Senators, Chuck Schumer. There, as Schumer put it, she "chimed in." Then last week, some pro-Israeli activists publicly urged her to seek the freedom of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard. And G.O.P.

Chelsea can pop into Hairtique (6) or Yankee Clipper (7) for a new do, or she can water-ski on Skaneateles' finger lake (8)--supposedly the cleanest in the continental U.S. Alas, the town's short- and fat-man race is no more. But if the town gets too much, Syracuse--which has more voters--is just 19 miles away...
