...credible race for Lieutenant Governor in 1990. Her loss was blamed on her famously acerbic running mate, Boston University President John Silber, who was defeated by William Weld. Clapprood has a record of involvement in groups that help poor women and children, and she is trying to exploit Flynn's biggest vulnerability in such a liberal district, his opposition to abortion. She touts herself as the pro-choice candidate who can beat Flynn, and in last week's debate, she essentially asked voters to elect her because of her gender.

And last year Arizona's White Mountain Apaches, protecting their logging and cattle interests, declared that federal agents would be forbidden to enforce the Endangered Species...
Bette is the country cousin those aristocratic ninnies the Hulots patronize, exploit and fatally underestimate. They think she's plain (the one aspect of this character that Jessica Lange can't quite convince us of), they know she's repressed, and they seem to feel she's not quite bright. What savage fun it is to see her wreak revenge on this superbly cast chateau of sublimely overconfident fools...
