...conditions in Russia have changed and that the need for the Peace Corps has changed." Hay, 34, has been with the Peace Corps for nine of the past 11 years. He served as a volunteer in a small Hungarian village shortly after graduating from St. Michael's College in Vermont with a degree in literature (yes, he read The Quiet American). While there he became fluent in Hungarian and met his wife, also a Corps volunteer, with whom he has a three-month-old daughter. He served as a desk officer in Washington and an administrative officer in Mongolia before...

...lost any hint of gallantry. No longer required to stand by while Gore either claimed or abandoned his spot on the ticket, the Democrats' abundant field of hopefuls expanded further to include a broad political spectrum, from conservative (Connecticut's Joe Lieberman) to moderate (Massachusetts' John Kerry) to liberal (Vermont's Howard Dean). Although many of us are still recovering from the 2000 election cycle, President Bush's would-be challengers are already drafting their stump speeches; the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, after all, are a mere 13 months away...
