...Hart, author of "New Hat," took the stage first. Tall and thin, he seemed the antithesis of his squat, ovular characters. Only by donning a woolly cap did he draw a parallel to his best-known character, the anti-corporate vagrant Hutch Owen. Using an overhead projector, an assistant switched transparencies made from Hart's book, "The Collected Hutch Owen," while Hart read the dialogue and even such onomatopoeia as "blip" and "wham." Afterwards he took questions from the moderator and audience...
...members stood in long lines to get their noses swabbed, scientists at Fort Detrick, Md., the army's bioterror research base, warned Daschle that their tests suggested they were dealing with something particularly dangerous: the anthrax was milled into a powder so fine it could have slipped into the Hart Senate Office Building's ventilation system and infected other areas. Fortunately, by this time, someone had realized it made no sense to bring people back into Hart to be swabbed, and so moved everyone to the Russell Caucus room, scene of the Watergate hearings, the Iran-contra hearings...

His youngest child, Liam, played by the utterly adorable Anthony Borrows, is, meantime, priest-ridden as he confronts near occasions of sins both mortal and venial.

...infected by anthrax? That hardly, to me, is an intelligent response." After a briefing Thursday afternoon by Capitol police, Gephardt told his staff the situation in Daschle's office was even worse than earlier thought. One aide said that decontaminating it would require fumigating that entire section of the Hart Building with gas and leaving it closed for two to three weeks. "It's a good thing we left," Gephardt reportedly told his staff, "and we probably should have left earlier." Senate leaders doubted the Hart Building would be closed that long, but it was no wonder Gephardt kept spinning...
