When a Leverett House fire alarm rang last Sunday afternoon, G-tower residents followed what has come to be a familiar routine: They filed out of the building, stood in the cold and expected to be let back inside once officials realized it was a false alarm...
...McCain. He will nearly always side openly with a person who is about to be stomped by a crowd. I've seen this over and over again in his instinctive reaction to situations. I was standing with him in a parking lot late one night when his cell phone rang. It was an Arizona political reporter calling to say the Republican mayor of Tempe had just been outed as a homosexual, and was under fire from Arizona's conservative establishment.

That leaves the party with just $2.5 million in the bank at a crucial time. By late March AL GORE or BILL BRADLEY will emerge victorious but dead broke and dependent on the D.N.C. to carry on the campaign until the August convention, when each party's nominee gets public...
