...went to Youngstown and said, 'I won't forget you.' Well, he didn't until just after the election. And he's forgotten you for four years. Now it's your turn to forget him on Nov. 6."

It does not matter to Loewenheim that he has to finish his trip with a two-hour bus ride (cost: $18) from Columbus...
Almost six years after she left the public whirl of politics for the more private pursuits of a professorship at the University of Texas, former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, 48, is anything but forgotten. In the past year Jordan has been honored repeatedly: Houston's main post office was named for her, she was inducted into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame, and the International Platform Association named her the U.S.'s greatest living orator. But the honor the eloquent Democrat liked most came last week, when Texas Governor Mark White and his wife were hosts...
