...SMITH Republican--Oregon 2nd When incumbent Wes Cooley dropped out of the race, the G.O.P. persuaded Smith to run for the seat that he gave up in 1994. Mr. Smith returns to Washington with 60% support...
Something about women journalists brings out the worst in a man. Ask Katie Couric. Or a pregnant reporter whom Republican Congressman Wes Cooley of Oregon threatened to punch in the nose for asking uncomfortable questions about his wife's finances. Or Mimi Swartz, a National Magazine Award winner who had the temerity to write a profile in Texas Monthly of freshman Congressman Steve Stockman, a former house painter who personifies the desire of voters to throw out incumbents in favor of the inexperienced and the uninformed.

Over the words approved by are the initials WS, evidently referring to Wes Strange. According to the document, reasons for the waiver were that the escrow account was making the payments, and the value of the collateral was "sufficient." Still, waiving such a requirement was highly irregular, especially on a commercial loan, and Vernon Dewey felt it was imprudent to do so. For the first time...
