...Alley is in her trailer, squealing with laughter and slurping away on a juice concoction of white grapes and lemons. She is on Day 3 of a 40-day juice-and-fruit fast and proselytizing the cleansing merits of her diet. "Taste it!" says Alley, popping up from the sofa to pour a portion. "Isn't it great...

A deficit hawk, he made headlines as a freshman for sleeping on a sofa in his office to save taxpayers' money. He also supports the line-item veto and term limits and sponsored a 1995 program to provide lab and computer equipment to schools...
