...someone from a small state who isn't well known, the big deal is having people become comfortable with someone who's just come into their lives." But it is obvious that Clinton can't wait. Last week Clinton read a New York Times piece detailing George Bush's foray into New Hampshire, replete with examples of the President's tortured rhetoric. After seeing Bush's answer to a question about extending unemployment benefits ("If a frog had wings, he wouldn't hit his tail on the ground -- too hypothetical"), Clinton said, "Oh it'll be fun. Sometimes I have...
Last week the dogged challenger was out stumping on Christmas Eve. At a J.C. Penney in Bedford, he bought five pairs of socks, pointing out that when Bush made a symbolic shopping-mall foray recently it was in distant Maryland -- and that the President bought only four pairs. Despite his pluck and energy, Buchanan has severe handicaps: low budget, frail organization and an obsession with ideology that may confine his appeal to the right wing.

Disgraced in 1988 after a liaison with a Louisiana call girl, Swaggart, 56, was stopped by police in Indio, Calif., two weeks ago for a traffic violation and found to be in the company of Rosemary Garcia, an admitted streetwalker. That latest foray prompted Swaggart to resign from his Baton Rouge-based ministry last Tuesday to seek "professional counseling and medical care." But the next day the preacher reversed the decision, explaining to his congregation that God told him to return to the pulpit. Swaggart announced to supporters that "the Lord told...
