I had expected a "Pizza Ring"-like operation: visions of drivers flying out the door in fireman-like fury raced through my head. But I saw no panel of phones, no running drivers.

Panzke, who has worked for Rostenkowski for 27 years, theorizes that voters only wanted to give him a scare: "I don't think anyone thought he'd really lose." Ring! A citizen is seeking help about a park. "You've got to do this," he insists. "I pay your salary...
Last Friday, Texas Senator Phil Gramm became the first Republican officially to throw his hat into the Presidential ring. Backed by the Texas A & M band, Gramm declared his candidacy with a particularly appropriate phrase: "With a love for America and a desire to make her right again...
