...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. Despite the chuckles, Ventura has not disgraced himself, and he has lent his party what must be considered a legitimate ? and respectable ? intellectual identity.

He is for fiscal conservatism (a balanced budget and low taxes) and social libertarianism. He has based a so-far-successful...

Kennedy also lent the family name--and with it, a measure of respect--to the Kennedy Fellows, a group of 75 health-care workers chosen each year for $1,000 scholarships...
...celebrate and expect political courage." In politics, Caroline picks her moments. 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...
