...instance, if the candidates are as concerned with women voters as they say, why not draw from Olympic events that attract huge female audiences. They could try diving ("Dole got off the board well on Filegate, but he came out of tuck way too soon on the character issue, Felicia, and that closing statement was not a clean splash!") or figure skating ("Bud, all Clinton has to do is finish out the compulsories on his feet, and it'll take a triple Axel for Dole to beat...

He took over the role of Darius in Jeffrey, Paul Rudnick's sometimes hilarious, sometimes moving off-Broadway play about gay love and sex.

It's hardly the sort of part Louganis would take if he wanted to keep his sexual orientation a secret.
