There was also the problem that the Kennedys share with everyone descended from a famous forebear--how to escape seeming a pale version of the original, like Frank Sinatra Jr. Joe Kennedy, who came to Congress worried that he could never match the luster of his famous elders, once told friends, "Every time I speak, a lot of people expect to hear President Kennedy's Inaugural Address...
...most remote towns--towns which still do not have running water. (I even visited a Mayan village where the bubbly has been incorporated into a sacred healing ceremony.) If you walk through Comitan in the late afternoon, you can hear the loud cheers of the audience on the Mexican version of "The Price is Right." Tommy Hilfiger and Winnie the Pooh and American sports team regalia are popular in the small family-run stores.

If they want to make an ideologically pure statement, it?ll be more like the House version." Clinton insists he doesn?t care what it looks like -- $792 million is too much. And so, for that matter, is the $500 billion proposed by some moderate Republicans. "The White House thinks it?s keeping the bidding low by publicly saying it won?t compromise," says Branegan.
