...though Buchanan and Fulani's far-out philosophies are filling a particular vacuum ? Ventura has lit a clear way ahead. He has got Minnesota's Democrats and Republicans talking, and its legislature functioning. Despite the chuckles, Ventura has not disgraced himself, and he has lent his party what must be considered a legitimate ? and respectable ? intellectual identity. He is for a small government that loves tough, and that ordinary folk get to participate in ? namely, for campaign finance reform.

The agency has come under fire for harassing its scientists who question regulations. Now the intimidation may have spread. "I must be onto something, or he wouldn't be coming at me like this," says California dairy farmer and anti-sludger Beswick, who got eight letters from Rubin, one accompanied by a note: "Jane: Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...
