...doubling the second worst time, had received money to be interviewed by Australian papers. And Moussambani had already turned down an ad campaign. "Speedo offered to sponsor me, but I didn't like the contract," he said, eating baked Alaska as the waitress came over with a stack of menus to be signed. "Michael Johnson was here two days ago, and we didn't ask for his autograph," she said. After signing, the team stopped for some photo ops with diners, then headed back to the Olympic Village.

He roused enough rabble to stack the national committee with allies and the convention with delegates, and by Sunday the nomination will be his, though he's unlikely to close the deal without some fireworks from the Perot people. Lawsuits are promised, but eventually the FEC will probably just wearily write the check to Buchanan and hope to Pat's vengeful God that he polls...
