And her popularity has caused talk, encouraged by New Jersey Senator Robert Torricelli, a close White House ally, that she may run for the Senate from New York in 2000.

...until he left office. But then he packed his memoirs with numerous vivid scenes, including a Congressman jumping up and down screaming and an attack by cigar-puffing capitalists at a lunch, which Slate magazine showed in an Internet minute did not happen. And what was Senator Robert Torricelli thinking when he recalled with great emotion the anti-Italian bias he felt when he watched the Kefauver organized-crime hearings on a flickering TV screen?
