Incumbent Senator Dianne Feinstein (D., California) appears to be pulling ahead of her G.O.P. challenger in a nasty, no-holds-barred campaign that's the most expensive senate race in history. A San Francisco Examiner poll released this weekend shows Republican challenger Michael Huffington lagging by 6%, wider than a gap of 4 points earlier this month. Still, that's small consolation for Feinstein, who once led by 26 points. Analysts attribute Huffington's strength to a $17 million spending binge, twice Feinstein's expenditures to date...
...This bill would restrict commercial development on 8 million acres of scenic desert while accommodating users ranging from hikers to hunters and motorcyclists. Pushed by Senator Dianne Feinstein, similar bills passed by 2-to-1 votes in both the House and Senate. But now that Republican Representative Michael Huffington is pulling closer in his challenge to Feinstein, G.O.P. lawmakers are using procedural tricks to block the House and Senate measures from being reconciled in conference.

...John-Roger as a personal savior. She says the charges all stem from disgruntled employees and have yet to be proved in court. She also says she has not actively participated for eight years, or given money. But MSIA records show that she has given $35,000 since 1990.

"John-Roger is my friend, and he is only one of many people whose philosophies I have studied." But her latest book, The Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul, is filled...
Many Republicans in California have not embraced Huffington. He got a lukewarm reception at a recent G.O.P. state convention, although they appreciate his deep pockets. Many are suspicious of his decision to run for the Senate after scarcely eight months in the House and fear that he may grab at the presidency with the same restlessness. So far, Dannemeyer has refused to promise the usual endorsement of the winner. A month ago, Barney Klinger, a wealthy Republican industrialist who has entertained Nixon and Reagan in his house, held a fund raiser that made $100,000 -- for Feinstein. Says Klinger: "Michael...
...Golden State, and stuck on the freeway listening to the radio or watching television, there will be no way they can avoid the $20 Million Man. And so the fall season brings back Seinfeld, Roseanne and one new series on all channels, at every time of the day, Huffington. After a while, he will be as familiar as the most popular sitcom star and just about as real. If the ads are successful, voters may think they know this person well enough to vote for him. They really won't know...
