...another consideration: ever since her family sold the business last | year, Castro, now 49, has been sitting atop a $10 million fortune. When the New York press asked her how much of it she would be willing to apply to a possible $4 million race against incumbent Daniel Patrick Moynihan, she answered promptly, "As much as it takes." James Moore, her campaign consultant, quickly amended that. "She meant as much as it takes to be competitive," he explained.

Bill Clinton has never really hit it off with Daniel Patrick Moynihan, but now he needs him. That's why the President had to pick up the phone in the White House last Wednesday night and mend fences -- not for the first time -- with the brilliant and unpredictable New York Senator. Clinton called to deny news reports that he was "exasperated" with Moynihan's lack of movement on health-care legislation.

Majority leader Mitchell, after sitting through weeks of Moynihan's professorial perorations without seeing much legislative progress, has thrust himself into the leadership void.

...happen. House and Ways Committee chairman Dan Rostenkowski predicts that the bill that will ultimately pass muster with his 38-member panel will be "much more conservative" than Stark's plan. Though two Senate committees and three House committees are now jockeying for the spotlight, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan's Finance Committee is expected to emerge as the final arbiter of compromise. The question is just how badly the Hill's titans will wound each other in the process -- and whether enough health benefits will survive to handle their resulting medical bills...

...coverage. Tobin's ideas have intrigued Congressman Pete Stark of California, who chairs the health panel of the House Ways and Means Committee. Stark likes Fedmed largely because it jibes with a bill he submitted last year to extend Medicare coverage to all Americans. New York's Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, also has shown keen interest. Says a congressional source: "It's perfectly timed and comes from a very respected source at a time when no one quite knows what...
