Corn, David | July 16, 2001 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on U.S. Senator John Kerry. The author says, Kerry is whiling away time between votes on amendments, talking to a reporter about his positions, his past, his personality. He threatened to filibuster U.S. President George W. Bush's plan to drill for oil in the Alaska wilderness. He's speaking to Democratic faithful at party functions across the country. With his party bully-pulpit-less, Kerry is one of a dozen or so Democrats vying to shape its response to Bush and shape a presidential bid.
