Roemer is a centrist Democrat who does not toe the party line. As an economic conservative, he supports a balanced-budget amendment and is a hawk on legislative pork. But he shows his Democratic roots by backing federal education programs like the Pell Grant and Head Start. Already thrice victorious in the Third, Roemer seems to have found a moderate voice to suit his district...

Realizing that more than $50 billion was owed to the Federal Government (about $20.5 billion in student loans), she sponsored the Debt Collection Improvement Law of 1996 and joined other Congresswomen to draft a "Women's Contract with America."

Berkeley's Padian, on the other hand, contends that pterosaurs did not have to walk on their wings, but were agile two-legged runners. He also disagrees with the explanation University of Bristol paleontologist David Unwin offers for the long fifth toe that juts out from pterosaur hind limbs.

Then, Fergie stopped trying to block a book about her affair with toe-sucking John Bryan (No. 3). She couldn't face testifying in public. Fergie's next literary effort, two children's books, will be lucky to generate such press...
