...Iowa straw poll - and coming in a dismal sixth - the flannel-wearing, exclamatory walk-across-the-state Alexander was out of donors and options. This year, he can blame it on fellow GOP moderate George W. Bush and his fund-raising Hoover, but TIME senior writer Eric Pooley says that the gods of politics simply never smiled upon this worthy...
...Palestinian state "inevitable." Last Friday she penned a letter to a leading Jewish group unequivocally declaring Jerusalem ? which both Israelis and Palestinians claim as their capital ? the "eternal and indivisible capital of Israel."

...ERIC POOLEY is not unfamiliar with the whirlwind of politics. As one of the magazine's senior political writers, he covered the White House in 1996, has reported on elections around the country and co-wrote our 1998 Man of the Year cover story on Ken Starr. But five weeks ago, he stepped into a firestorm when he became acting Nation editor as the impeachment of the President moved into the Senate. "It certainly hasn't been difficult coming up with story ideas," he says. "But events move so quickly that the story on Friday is vastly different from what...
