...long shots with varying chances of paying off. Knowing this, the media took Beatty's comments seriously, filling the papers with stories about a man who may, according to cynical observers, be perversely overqualified for the nation's highest office. He has not only made better movies than Ronald Reagan, but his legendary years of womanizing make Clinton look like a Mormon missionary and J.F.K. like a rural parish priest. A Beatty campaign, it seems fair to speculate, would have no jarring bimbo eruptions, only a flowing fountain of sexy memories...
Beatty was as surprised as anyone by the impact of his nonannouncement, telling a friend that he'd anticipated a 65% humorous reaction but had been greeted with only 15%. As Reagan and Ventura have proved, the only true measure of a candidate's seriousness is how seriously he takes himself, and Beatty has taken politics seriously for more than 30 years. After stumping for Robert Kennedy, Beatty strategized for George McGovern. His political influence crested when his friend and pool-party partner Gary Hart wiped the lipstick off his collar and twice sought the Democratic nomination. Beatty was single...
...last long anyway ? a Starr spokesman confirmed that the team has already begun writing their ominous (but indictment-free) final report, which Starr says will be out "as soon as is practicable," hopefully by November 2000 (watch out, Hillary).

Now he?s coyly hinting about pulling the ultimate anti-Reagan as an actor running for President -? from somewhere to the left of Bill Bradley. "It?s no secret that I am a liberal Democrat," told the New York Times on Wednesday, making clear his displeasure with the current options -? and admitting even he doesn?t feel he?s presidential timber...
...Bush's economists believe you just might be able to. Led by Larry Lindsey, a former Federal Reserve governor, Bush's team is like a conservative All-Star squad from the Reagan-Bush years, a combination of supply-siders like Anderson and Harvard's Martin Feldstein, with do-no-harm pragmatists like Boskin. "There are no disagreements on where we're going," says Anderson. "But there are lots of discussions about the best way to get there...
