...though Buchanan and Fulani's far-out philosophies are filling a particular vacuum ? Ventura has lit a clear way ahead. He has got Minnesota's Democrats and Republicans talking, and its legislature functioning.

She turned down an invitation to serve as chairwoman of the Democratic National Convention in 1992, but she stumped for Teddy and her cousin Patrick, a Rhode Island Congressman, late in the 1994 campaign. In 1998 she lent her name to the campaign against an anti-affirmative-action initiative in Washington State and gave a speech at a U.N. ceremony in which she implored the U.S. Senate to ratify an international treaty on children's rights...
