ADVENTURES OF A REPUBLICAN REVOLUTIONARY
It's very easy nowadays to tell whether your feature story will cast a positive or negative light on its subject. The reader need only look at the cover photo. When you disapprove (as with Mark Neumann's politics), it will be an extreme and repellent close-up -- eyes, nose and mouth only, with every pore, hair follicle and furrow in sharp focus. The reader's natural reaction is physically to push him (and his politics) away.

EDITORS' NOTE: Neumann defeated his Democratic opponent, Lydia Spottswood, by 1,988 votes in the First Congressional District in Wisconsin.
