Though potential issues abound, the chances are slim that much will become of them. "I've never seen such a quiet campaign in Cambridge," three-term Councilor Clinton said last week. "For the first time in my memory, there are no serious threats among the challengers, and the small number of candidates is going to help the incumbents...
...Earl Ruth, 59, Governor of American Samoa at $45,000 a year. A three-term Representative from North Carolina who calls himself a "country boy," Ruth has never been to Samoa. But he is sure his experience as dean of students at Catawba College in his home state will help him supervise the 28,000 Polynesians in his jurisdiction.

But instant fame as a result of Judiciary Committee publicity may help his cause. He still has the support of Maryland's U.S. Senators-both Republicans-and his pro-impeachment stand will enable him to pick...
