...usual m.o. was to swoop in to seduce the candidate, caroming among five different campaigns, calling from a pay phone and needing the big guy now. "He's like a cult leader," says Stuart Stevens, a Dole media consultant who once worked with Morris. "The client has to get in there, drink the Kool-Aid and look him in the eye, get the whole mystical connection going...
...receptions in the most consecutive games (177), a receiver needs impeccable timing, and that's what this former Seattle Seahawk and current Representative from Tulsa has. Largent, 41 and a Christian conservative, not only chose the right time to run for his first elective office--he trounced Clinton associate Stuart Price in '94--but also found himself at the center of a potent team of Republican freshmen.

Hemingway always struggled with her weight. In 1990 she slimmed down...
...Franken, for his part, says he wants Huffington to help his credibility by doing all her coverage in a negligee. While Franken looks forward to offending "a few Republican delegates who don't have a sense of humor, who'll get mad at me," he may also slip into Stuart Smalley mode. "I'm going to reach for common ground. I'm going to show that a complete nut-case right-winger and I can get along...
