...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. "Because if she said as much as it takes to win, that would imply that she could buy the election...
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.

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...
