Democrat Tom Bradley, 64, three-term mayor of Los Angeles and former Los Angeles police officer, uses an all-purpose campaign slogan that touts his two decades of municipal experience: "He doesn't make a lot of noise.

Hyde, a burly (6 ft. 3 in., 265 Ibs.) three-term Congressman from Illinois, is probably the most ardent and forceful pro-lifer in the House. Their bill is designed to take advantage of a section of the 1973 decision in which the Supreme Court, with becoming modesty, said it was unable "to resolve the difficult question of when life...
