22 Days Away...
In October 1994, Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report alerted its readers to the increasing possibility of a Republican takeover of Congress. Using the traditional symbols of the Democratic and Republican parties, the cover illustration was a cartoon of a donkey having a nightmare of elephants storming up the steps of the Capitol.
A dozen years later, it would be the elephant sleeping fitfully. And the dream keeping it awake could be titled "Nightmare on First Street II -- The Donkey Stampede."
