Under the intense scrutiny of a Presidential campaign, this cunning carelessness could be a liability. But voters tend to ignore such details, and Harkin's obviously heartfelt commitment to his causes overshadows his lapses. Last week when he pleaded for expanding immunization services for impoverished children, he recalled getting shots from the visiting nurse at his "two-room country schoolhouse, middle of nowhere, Iowa."

So did Ben Vereen, who sang a spirited version of Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now and later joined country singer Lee Greenwood and Susan Anton for a heartfelt rendition of America the Beautiful. Said Vereen: "I want us as a country to realize our responsibility to the troops. I don't want Saddam Hussein to see us as divided...
