...that these four were the only oddballs in town this week. There was Lenora Fulani, the ultra-leftist African-American independent politico and former Buchanan bedfellow, leading her entourage of New York delegates away from the Buchanan camp, into the Hagelin mini-convention, then back into the Buchanan side of the Reform convention seeking a larger walk-out of dissidents. There was an obese, half-naked Long Beach resident named "Ski" Demski, who entered the convention hall with his massive belly depicting tattoos of an American eagle while his back was adorned with a large flag. There was another fellow...
...publicist for the causes she champions. Says Wallis, a veteran of radical politics: "We've waited years for someone like her." Her enthusiasms are worth taking seriously. "She doesn't so much evolve as have incarnations," says an old colleague. And the incarnations are invariably suited to the politico-sociological moment. She has an unerring sense for the next big thing. In the early 1970s, she wrote one of the first anti-feminist manifestos--The Female Woman, a counterpoint to Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch--anticipating the backlash against feminism before there was a hint of it.

Bill Richardson was ready for his close-up. Until he was beset by the double woes of Wen Ho Lee and rising gas prices, the energy secretary was a political and media darling.

Through a series of grandiose gestures, he earned the contempt of almost every other Newark politico. But he won attention, and loyalty, from many locals who had given up on the city's notoriously corrupt political machine. "He is the most exciting elected official in Newark in the past generation," says Clement Price, a Rutgers University history professor. "He's fearless, if not reckless...
Poor George Stephanopoulos is surrounded by vaginas. This April morning, four of The View's co-hosts are grilling the squirming ex-politico and ABC commentator about Donna Hanover, New York City's first lady, and her decision--later rescinded--to appear in the play The Vagina Monologues. Clearly they're enjoying his palpable male discomfort with the repetitions of the V word. "I got in trouble on Good Morning America this morning for saying that word," he pleads. "There's four of them right here!" shoots back Star Jones, as the audience--almost all female--goes nuts...
