Dole talks like someone who is a long way from retirement. "You've got to like this business, and I like politics," he told TIME. "Dan Quayle had me right when he said, 'When Bob Dole has a day off, he goes to a fund raiser.' " The Doles have never been much for the capital's social scene. They still live in the two-bedroom Watergate apartment that was Dole's bachelor pad after his divorce from his first wife Phyllis.

...been relatively short--she first won election in 1982 as a county commissioner--her political education is of the highest class. Her father Webster Todd, a building contractor whose projects included Rockefeller Center, was influential in the presidential candidacies of Eisenhower and Nixon. Her mother was a fund raiser for George Bush. Her husband and adviser John Whitman is the grandson of a Governor of New York. At least by lineage, she represents the pragmatic and waning Republicanism of Rockefeller. Says Marge Roukema of New Jersey, the ranking Republican woman in the House of Representatives: ``She shows the party must...
