Kucinich's worst mistake probably was tangling with Chief Hongisto, whom he hired last December over the misgivings of Cleveland's conservative, 2,000-man police force.

Four days was enough to get some good sun, meet some interesting people, and find the good nightclubs, the bad clubs, and, accidentally, the gay clubs; five days was enough to drink a little too much, sunburn a little too much, meet too many strangers, and get a few too many of our belongings stolen.
