...Junior Tuesday and the New York primary set him up to win big this week in the South and next week in the Midwest. The delegates were tantalizing enough (392 so far), but what really had Dole operatives drooling was the sweet reward of three straight weeks of nonstop, positive and, above all, free media exposure during March. So it was time, Dole's aides explained, to "pivot" from Buchanan and Forbes to Clinton and Gore. That meant solving some lingering problems, like the fact that Dole approaches the start of the Big Race with little money and less message...
...taut Bay is mostly behind the scenes, plotting strategy, raising money, orchestrating commercials. Pat calls her every 30 minutes to check in. Bay is the personification of his barking inner voice, goading him to run for President, something she has been doing for a decade. Whereas Bay talks nonstop in her brother's rat-a-tat style, Shelley is painfully reticent.

...truth about reading period is that though there might be two weeks of cumulative work, very few people actually work nonstop for two weeks.

The 51-year-old Fossett, who has climbed some of the world's tallest peaks, set records in ballooning and sailing and completed Alaska's 1,100-mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race, lifted off from South Dakota's Black Hills early Monday and immediately ran into trouble. A faulty autopilot system, extreme cold and a dead heater left him with...
Part of the Presidents' apparent shell shock could be attributed to pure exhaustion. They had been negotiating almost nonstop for three weeks and around the clock for several days before the signing ceremony. Part of their mood may have been introspection, a feeling of concern about just what they were doing and how it would be received by the most passionate combatants at home. It was inevitable that some diehards would consider the settlement, any settlement, unsatisfactory...
