To the rest of the Democratic field, however, he was like Dr. Seuss's Grinch Who Stole Christmas, an instant spoiler further disrupting his party's stumbling attempts to rally behind an electable candidate. Like Jesse Jackson, the other leader of the Democratic pack, Hart arouses such high negative feelings in the polls that he is hardly a plausible nominee. Yet together they could draw enough votes to make it more difficult for any of the other five contenders to garner a majority in the primaries. Though the chance of a brokered outcome remains...

People only remember the bad stuff, the fights he got into, the women he done wrong and the patronizing way he let Sammy into the Rat Pack. But what about the good? It was Frank, remember, who brought Jerry and Dean back together on Jerry's telethon a few years back. He didn't have to. He wasn't paid for it. He just...
