...journalists who cover them why elections are called races. For the staff of TIME's Nation section, who among other things produce nearly all the magazine's political coverage and commentary, staying abreast of the cascade of election-year developments is a weekly test of intellectual speed and stamina. This is particularly true every fourth year, when a U.S. presidential campaign poses the ultimate challenge...
...Chirac to a tennis match (Chirac doesn't play tennis and declined). These moves have been taken as early signs that Yeltsin planned to run in the presidential election next June.

(Horrified at the recent photo ops, she vowed to buy him some decent jogging shorts...

A lot of it is if you're lucky and you have good genes and you've just sort of worked all your life and been active. I think the records show that people who sometimes retire fade away pretty quickly. I remember my dad used to tell me, "Boy, how many times can you sweep the walk and empty the trash...
