...question has been added since we filled out our last count; it involves grandparents who are caretakers. Hardly the stuff a hypothetical Big Brother might like to know, but that hasn't stopped some politicians from raising a red flag over even the most innocuous questions. Mississippi senator Trent Lott and presidential hopeful George W. Bush have voiced particularly sharp rancor over what they term the "intrusive" questions in this year's long form (delivered to one in six U.S. households). Apparently, some people find the idea of disclosing their income level and commuting practices to the federal government...

Clinton's people weren't the only ones looking after Lindner. Members of Congress--Democrats and Republicans, fund raisers all, beneficiaries themselves of Lindner's largesse--called or wrote or met with Kantor and the President to encourage action on behalf of Chiquita. Trent Lott of Mississippi, the Republican majority leader in the Senate, did it. So did John Glenn, at the time a Democratic Senator from Ohio. And Republican Congressman Jim Bunning of Kentucky, now a Senator. And Charles Stenholm, the Democratic Representative from Texas. And Richard Lugar, the Republican Senator from Indiana.
