...agency's bureaucracy. She did such a good job at broadening the position's reach that it later became a path to power for other female Texas politcians including U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. In 1988, half way through Richards' second term, she took that confidence and her persona to the Democratic National Convention, wowing everyone with her silver hair and stiletto tongue. Her famous poke at then Vice President George H.W. Bush - "Poor George. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth" - prompted talk of a national role someday and a gift from Bush in the form...

...Cohen's form of ambush comedy involves donning an assured and preposterously unknowing persona - the hip-hopeless Ali G., for example - then embarrassing real people by asking inane questions and making rude observations. A riff on the Michael Moore style of confrontation, it's a tactic I'm usually not crazy about, since anyone can seem a fool when he's not allowed in on the joke.

...long, venomous feud between Brown's backers and Blair's troupe as Brown grew increasingly vexed at his long wait for the top job. Some Cabinet ministers worry that Brown lacks Blair's charisma and rapport with Middle England (not unlike Middle America) and that his dry, statistic-spouting persona will drive voters to the pub. Already, one left-wing M.P., John McDonnell, says he'll run for the Labour leadership. But he has no real shot (odds: 100 to 1 against). John Reid (8 to 1 against), a former Communist turned right-wing Blairite, has long disliked Brown...

...word, but I Want You and Stars Are Blind--"Even though the gods are crazy/ Even though the stars are blind/ If you show me real love baby/ I'll show you mine"--are credible pieces of late-summer pop, on which she not only banishes her persona and exhales in tune but also understands that a crush is not the end of the world, just something everyone happens to relate to. Could it be that Paris speaks for all of us? Well, no. But not speaking for herself is achievement enough...
