This is the Liddy we came to know during her brief presidential race in 2000, when not a hair or verb was out ofplace. She's trying to be looser now as she runs to replace retiring North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms against former Clinton chief of staff Erskine Bowles. After her stump speech about religion, the troops, jobs and schools, and an hour of meet-and-greet, I ask Dole, 66, why she isn't sweating. She hunches up her shoulders and motions for me to reachinside her jacket. "Feel the back of my neck," she offers...

John Ashcroft's aggressive pursuit of the death penalty may be backfiring. A U.S. district judge in Vermont last week ruled the federal death penalty unconstitutional, arguing that the law violates defendants' due-process rights because it allows looser procedures and standards of evidence in sentencing than are allowed at trial.

Maybe, if we push aside our egos and our anxieties, we can allow ourselves to don a new set of costumes, even if only for an hour, an afternoon, a day. In these looser garments we just might be able to reclaim our sense of awe and wonder, our carefree abandon, our willingness to jump blindly into unknown waters below. And, while we can never recapture those people who through death or distance have left us forever, we may, for a fleeting moment, recapture...
First, the bill bans soft-money contributions to political parties but it does not restrict soft-money from going to special interest groups such as the Sierra Club. This means that more money will now flow to these groups which have much looser contribution restrictions than political parties and which are far less accountable to voters than political campaigns and parties. The bill will forbid political organizations from airing “issue ads” for 60 days preceding elections. Presumably, this rule will effectively prevent large unions and corporations from excessively bashing those candidates who oppose their interests...
