Knauer took a shine to her unmarried but very eligible deputy, and in the spring of 1972 arranged for Elizabeth to meet a certain recently divorced Senator from Kansas. In her memoir, Mrs. Dole remarks that she found the Senator "awfully attractive" but he didn't call her and she wouldn't call him. She ran into Dole again at the 1972 Republican Convention, and this time he did call. Their romance progressed with all the speed of an omnibus budget resolution wending its way through committee, and they were married in 1975. Elizabeth finally had her trophy husband...
...first dance, "By The Horns," proved that less truly can be more. Choreographer Danny Buraczeski took advantage of the piece's jazzy style to its fullest, letting the horns' vibrant energy shine through in the dancers' quick and perfectly-timed movements.

MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE: For Pat Buchanan, the news could not have come at a worse time. With polls showing him running a strong second to Bob Dole, Thursday night's debate was supposed to be his chance shine before a national television audience and claim the lead. Instead, he spent precious time during the day addressing allegations that his campaign co-chairman Larry Pratt had appeared as a speaker at white supremacist and militia events. Pratt announced he would step down, at least for now, to fight charges that he appeared at a number of such events. The thorniest issue...
