...order. Business has picked up at Navy recruiting centers. Thirteen hundred business leaders gave Ventura a standing ovation. A college crowd yelled for a band to get off the stage so the Governor could come out. The World Wrestling Federation rushed out a commemorative video titled The Mouth, the Myth, the Legend. And a capitol lobbyist said Ventura doesn't have the foggiest notion how government works...
Another obstacle in Lott's way is his own propensity to blurt things out that he'd be better off keeping to himself--what a G.O.P. Senator described last week as "Trent's foot-in-mouth disease."

...best things about going to movies and going to plays once you start acting, I guess, not that I'm even close to professional, it's just fun to watch people on screen or on stage, do certain--have certain idiosyncrasies. Robert De Niro puts his mouth into a little snarl and, very quietly, commands the whole screen, but it's just certain things like that that you just pick up on people. It can be anybody, from people who go here [Harvard], to very famous screen and stage actors, that you can just pick up things and steal [from...
