The oilman who re-created an entire Neiman-Marcus window display-gowns, gems, furs and all-in his living room one Christmas morn because his wife had said she had seen something in the window she wanted. The fellow who told LIFE magazine that he bought a Rolls-Royce because its powder-blue paint job matched his wife's favorite hat. Then there was H.L.

Running on his "proven record as an effective leader," Gramm has the advantage of appealing to conservative Democrats and independents. His strongest opponent is Moderate Robert Mosbacher Jr., a rich Houston oilman who served six years as a legislative assistant to Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker.
