...gleaming glass. To create further discomfort, Hatry graces the gallery with a pig flesh example of a sculpted bust. The bust lies on a butcher’s table, attached to stuffed clothing to give it the appearance of belonging to a full body.

These days, though, it's a place with big problems. Its $42-billion budget deficit would make an out-of-control Hollywood director blush - and bankrupt a small nation.

Plus Ventura's appeal to populist sympathies and his downscale campaign wardrobe--faded jeans, scuffed sneakers, an occasional camouflage jacket and bush hat--belied the fact that he is a wealthy man. He lives with his wife of 23 years, Terry, and a teenage son and daughter on a 32-acre horse...
