- <p> Is the race for the Democratic presidential nomination
- finally showing signs of life? There seems to be a general
- increase in testosterone levels among potential candidates, who
- promise they won't "do a Dukakis" by allowing Republicans to get
- the rhetorical advantage. Senator TOM HARKIN of Iowa has a
- get-tough campaign strategy: "Always attack, never defend and
- never fight on their territory." Once Bush launches an unfair
- offensive, "I'm going to hit him right back between the eyes,"
- snarls Harkin. Tennessee Senator AL GORE mixes lofty rhetoric
- with a downright bloodthirsty warning to George Bush. "You run
- with your heart and soul," he notes. But you also have to be
- willing to "rip the lungs out" of a hardball-playing adversary.
