My brother worked for former Sen. Rudy Boschwitz (he who Wellstone defeated) in 1990. He would tell me that Boschwitz was fond of saying that if he had a nickel for every "niece" he met, he'd be a millionare. Also had Doug Bandow speak at my college, and he had some very interesting tales about some of our "best and brightest" - on both sides of the aisle.
