...celebrate the aborning presidential candidacy of former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, Ben & Jerry's (the quintessential Vermont company) served up a limited-edition "Maple-Powered Howard" sundae last week. (Never mind that the real Ben and Jerry favor Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich.) Other Democrats want in on the eponymous ice-cream war: Joseph Lieberman's staff called TIME to stump for the creation of "Key Limeberman Pie," for "the sweet fellow who wants everyone to get their fair share of the pie," while John Kerry's staff members want a scoop of "Red, White and Blueberry Harley-Riding Kerry...
...little more than six months away from the primaries. The real campaign will probably begin on Labor Day, but the Democratic field seems to have organized itself into three tiers. The bottom tier is the vanity candidacies: Al Sharpton, Dennis Kucinich, Carol Moseley Braun. The middle tier is serious candidates who have yet to catch fire: Joe Lieberman (despite high name recognition in the polls), John Edwards (despite financial support from his fellow trial lawyers and some creative speeches about specific issues) and Bob Graham. At the top are John Kerry, the party establishment's favorite; Dick Gephardt, the Midwest...

Dennis Kucinich suddenly realized that even he had never heard of himself, while Carol Moseley-Braun drew heavily upon whatever-the-heck it was she majored in during college...
...will face an uphill battle. Six candidates have a head start, and Representative Dennis Kucinich, the former Cleveland mayor, joined the race this week, taking his share of the antiwar vote. What's more, the ex-Illinois Senator had a rocky D.C. tenure. Among the potholes: her frequent visits with Nigeria's military government. (Those questions were raised and answered when she was confirmed to be ambassador to New Zealand in 1999, she says.) The smart money bets the 55-year-old will never rise higher than an asterisk in the polls. Still, primaries are volatile. One of Moseley-Braun...
...worker bees. TV's favorite vegetarian, the cartoon 8-year-old Lisa Simpson, once had a crush on a fellow who described himself as "a Level Five vegan--I don't eat anything that casts a shadow." Among vegan celebrities: the rock star Moby and Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who swore off steak for breakfast and insists he feels much better starting his day with miso soup, brown rice or oat groats...
