...Buick Reatta convertible down Nashville's "Music Row," he could have been ticketed twice and would have been in danger of losing his license as he headed for his third fund-raising meeting of the day. The former Tennessee Governor got up before dawn that morning in New Hampshire, flew to Nashville and then addressed his 40 top local financiers at a genteel Governor's-mansion lunch. He later huddled with country-music star Ray Stevens (A-hab the A-rab) to plan the entertainment for a $2 million fund-raising dinner this Monday and then dashed to a small...

The third was a petite, reddish-haired woman from Long Beach, California, named Renee Stephens. For the team's headquarters, Stephens rented...

Leaving his limousine, Mandela was greeted by a navy honor guard in spotless whites. Air force jets flew overhead, and a 21-gun salute rang out from nearby Signal Hill. Beginning his second year in office, Mandela had arrived to open a new session of Parliament, and the spectacle suited the occasion--to all who remember apartheid, the very existence of a Mandela administration in South Africa is still amazing...
