Powell and Mitchell are both remarkable individuals and would be superb additions to their respective tickets--if they can be persuaded to join the race. To be sure, they are not the only favorable candidates. Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel is a Vietnam veteran and campaign finance reformer straight from the McCain mold. On a Bush ticket, he would likely appeal to many of the same voters that McCain was able to bring into the political arena. California Sen. Diane Feinstein has also had a distinguished legislative career and supports gun control, abortion rights and health care initiatives. Either would...
...McCain's record to attack him as an opponent of breast-cancer research, an affront made worse by the Texas Governor's seemingly callous response when he was told that McCain's sister had suffered from the disease. "John got pretty worked over by these boys," says Senator Chuck Hagel, a McCain supporter and intermediary between the two camps. "That poison and bitterness and anger needs some time to drain...

Donohue's party will include CRAIG FULLER, George Bush's vice-presidential chief of staff, and it also has the blessing of staunchly conservative Republican SENATOR CHUCK HAGEL of Nebraska. These big G.O.P. names should provide political cover for the White House and particularly AL GORE. The Administration is currently expanding unofficial links to Havana, but is worried about opposition from many anti-Castro Cuban-American voters...
