...Consider: Vice President Nixon ran in 1960 after eight years of Eisenhower. Vice President Humphrey ran in '68 as successor to Kennedy-Johnson. Nixon's appointed Vice President, Gerald Ford, ran in '76 after the second Nixon term (although, because of Nixon's resignation, he ran peculiarly as an incumbent President). George H.W. Bush ran in '88 for what was essentially Reagan's third term. And Al Gore, try as he might, never did disconnect himself from the Clinton-Gore Administration in which he had served...

Humphrey for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. It is widely seen as the first foray into the politics of cinéma vérité (sometimes termed “direct cinema”), a subset of the documentary genre featuring factual portrayal of the subject’s activities, with minimal interference by the director...

Bacall, who also shared the screen with the waifish Cold Mountain star in last year's Dogville, replied that "[Kidman's] not a legend. She's a beginner." The dig seemed to be aimed more at the breathless journalist than at Oscar winner Kidman...
...selection camp, Carly Patterson, 16, an experienced competitor, was a clear favorite for her steady work on the beam, despite her third-place finish at the trials. Terin Humphrey, 17, also impressed Martha with her steely consistency. Traditionally, the U.S. has loaded the team with bars-and-beams girls to amass as many points as possible in its two weakest events. But this year the U.S. is exceptionally strong in those events. "So [at the camp], my mind shifted to using two gymnasts who are strong on vault and floor exercises," says Martha. And that led her to Mohini Bhardwaj...
