...first round's closeness guaranteed that the two-week runoff campaign would be conducted with care, regardless of the predictions that Yeltsin couldn't lose. The Americans' insistence on the anticommunist message was pursued with a vengeance. At the end, Yeltsin's television advertising was almost exclusively a nonstop diet of past Soviet horrors. Lebed's law-and-order theme dovetailed nicely with the pre-existing Yeltsin emphasis on preserving stability.

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. Her only public role is to smile serenely, sit behind the candidate onstage and form the visual punch line to one of his biggest applause getters: "I want to introduce the lady I intend to nominate to replace Hillary...
