...more compelling than rhetoric, however, was the visual image of Gary Hart: rough-hewn and handsome, dressed in a dark blue suit and trademark black cowboy boots, standing in splendid isolation halfway up a mountain. The lone political warrior towering above his rivals is precisely Hart's position nine months before the Iowa caucuses. It has been Hart vs. a still indistinguishable field ever since New York Governor Mario Cuomo decided to sit out the 1988 race.

The bounty hunter -- he's real, not just a Hi dream -- is a demon road warrior, a warthog from hell who grenades rabbits and torches roadside flowers, can catch flies between his filthy fingers, and has a secret tattoo of Woody Woodpecker on his left pectoral. Gale and Evelle (lots of gender-bent names in this picture) lecture Ed on the importance of breast-feeding...
