McCaughey Ross, once a media asset with little political record, faces primary threats from potential rivals who could split anti-D'Amato votes, complicating the senator's domination.

Windsock Principle and doublespeak in politics era
Terry Anderson's missing Wednesday column reviews how euphemistic language distorts public discourse. The piece recalls George Orwell's 1984 and cites a 1948 congressional reply to Mrs. Henkle showing blunt honesty versus polished evasiveness. Denton notes a drift from clear language to political theater.
