...wanders through the house, he points out more framed pictures of his son: Trey, the towheaded Cub Scout; Trey with sister Kristi, a year older, who now has the joy of being his tax accountant; and with Libby, nine years younger, who lives a few blocks away raising her two kids; with Bill Sr. and his new wife Mimi, the director of the Seattle Art Museum; and hugging his wife Melinda while listening to Willie Nelson play at their New Year's Day 1994 wedding in Hawaii...
...discipline are not necessarily much better. Michael, a preternaturally bright 16-year-old sophomore, is a case in point. Last year he was smoking up to five times a day, and his grades were suffering. But it wasn't until his scoutmaster caught him getting high on a Boy Scout outing that his parents found out.

...former FBI director William Sessions, this self-described "lifelong Republican" has the right family-values image: he is a former eagle scout who claims never to have missed a day of work. Sessions favors term limits and the line-item veto and has pledged to donate his congressional salary to the federal-budget-deficit trust fund any year Congress doesn't meet its balanced-budget goals. With Representative John Bryant (D) leaving to run for the Senate (he lost the primary), this may be Sessions' year...
