...rewarding those who persevere after earlier defeats, Dole is the front runner in every poll. There are rumblings of concern about his age (71), which may explain why he has floated the idea of pledging to serve only one term. But it's unlikely he would want to render himself a lame duck before he's inaugurated. Dan Quayle makes the top tier because of his prior service and ties to the religious right. However, the real tension so far, and probably the real contest as the battle progresses, is between Dole and Gramm...
...their theory of who was directly responsible for the gunshot that murdered Urdiales. To say that I found that news troubling would be a great understatement. At Jacobs' trial, it required considerable soul-searching before I could confidently vote for the verdict and sentence of death that the jury rendered.

...possesses a maternal modesty conveyed by her relaxed posture, unassuming clothes and coloring in tonal browns. She's not a redhead, as are many of Toulouse-Lautrec's women, nor does she look embalmed and fluorescent as the harsh lighting of the Moulin Rouge was apt to render its drunk habituees. Absinthe Drinker is a refreshing contrast to Toulouse-Lautrec's unflattering portraits. But here again, the work is not psychologically revealing, because the woman is shown in profile...
