...Record People are asking what kind of President John Kerry would be [Feb. 9]. One of the best. As a thoughtful Democrat, he would bring jobs, health care and compassion into his Administration, not the hypocrisy we now have. And never underestimate the power of a woman. Teresa Heinz Kerry's understanding of many world problems, through her background and her fluency in five languages, would add a dimension to a Kerry Administration that is sadly lacking in George W. Bush's military-industrial complex. Trish Hooper Portola Valley...
...talk it to death using fancy language will be Exhibit A. (George W. Bush will play at sounding like Clint Eastwood to drive home the contrast.) As for Exhibit B, the Republican National Committee gave a sneak preview last week, e-mailing to reporters a quote from Teresa Heinz Kerry about her husband: "You know, I say he's like a good wine.

...might ask, would the Republicans distribute something so innocuous? Because it implies the Heinz Kerrys are wine drinkers. They probably eat quiche too.

Most of the parents work in local factories or service jobs. "We had a long-term problem here," says Jane Evans, curriculum director for the district. "The school's culture was, 'Our kids are different. They...
...right now more than anything else is the fact that donors love a winner. When his campaign was careening in late December, it looked as though it would have trouble making its payroll. So Kerry tapped his fortune--a considerable one, thanks to his marriage to condiment heir Teresa Heinz--and mortgaged one of their five homes for $6.4 million to keep his campaign afloat. But once he started racking up primary victories, his fund raisers started getting their calls returned. They had expected to raise $400,000 at one event in New York City on Feb. 5, two days...
