...Mario Cuomo offer up 400 exhaustive and, at times, exhausting pages chronicling his ascension to the governorship of New York State? Political books are rarely written merely to enrich the intellectual content of bourgeois existence. Sen. Gary W. Hart (D-Colo.) did not churn out A New Democracy because he fancied himself a renaissance man, nor did Sen. Edward M. Kennedy '54 (D-Mass.) pen a how-to nuke freeze guide because he could only express his heartfelt convictions in mass market soft-cover...

...ticket, and swats off suggestions that her age might be a handicap. "You could say the same thing about Ronald Reagan in 1980," she says. There are more serious minuses: as a Midwesterner, she would offer no geographic diversity to Minnesotan Walter Mondale; she has also criticized Gary Hart on the Chrysler bailout. But if she were tapped, says her husband of 50 years, Hicks, "I would congratulate the whole country on its selection." > Kathy Whitmire, 37.
