...clearly defined blocs no longer exist. Paul made the Sacred College in his own image, and he shunned the extremes. The candidates form a mass of middle-readers with muted political coloration.

...what is one to make of G. (for George) William Miller? As chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, Miller, 53, is the most powerful of all central bankers?but he is far outside the mold.

Campaigning 16 hours a day, he squeezes arms, pats backs and shakes hands. His pitch is that he is not "cut from the same mold" as most politicians-a point that rings true. His chief opponent in the Democratic primary, former State Treasurer Richard Leone, 38, argues that Bradley is too inexperienced. The dark, intense Leone holds a Ph.D. in government, teaches at Princeton and boasts of his expertise in such fields as "qualified bond programs...
