- <p> Politicians, listen up! If you're worried about getting the
- vote out, call Kathie Lee Gifford. The effervescent talk-show
- host was so determined to win TV Guide's Most Beautiful Woman
- on TV phone-in poll that she pleaded with viewers for five days
- to vote for her. It worked. Last week Gifford, 37, crushed
- runner-up Jaclyn Smith, 17,796 votes to 3,603. Some opponents
- complained, but Gifford stands by her actions. Says she: "I
- didn't do anything illegal." Score one for the American way.
