...Congressman David Obey of Wisconsin received his packet, he shot back a sizzling letter decrying the tactic as "immoral." Stern counters that every ad is meticulously documented and published only after a Senator or Congressman has been offered a chance to tell his side of the story. When Democrat Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico was asked why he did not return a $10,000 gift from the American Medical Association PAC (AM-PAC), Bingaman replied forthrightly, "I can't afford...

...national team since 1975. In the oddest-sounding events, like the men's English match small-bore rifle competition (won by West Virginian Ed Etzel), the impression of a rout was confirmed.

He faces a "graveyard" of actors, each sitting in front of a television set, eyes riveted on the screen. He listens to the ghost of his dead friend. Moritz (Christopher Moore) attempt to lure him center-stage, into the graveyard. Moritz, heavily made up, gesturing dramatically and Melchior appearing plain and vulnerable under a dim natural light, create a startling contrast.
