THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan don’t agree on much. But they're standing together in contending they both should be included in the presidential debates. Both plan to be in Boston for the first debate tonight. However, they will be outsiders looking in, barred from a nation al forum that could have given their flagging third-party cam paigns a boost Buchanan, the Reform Party candidate, and the Green Party nominee, Nader, fell far short of the 15 percent support they needed in major polls. The per cent is required by the sponsor ing bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates. As one caller to CNN’s "Larry King Live” put it: “Give up, Mr. Buchanan.” “I never give up, young lady,” Buchanan replied. He blamed a lack of money, sparse media coverage and getting barred from the debates as killing his campaign’s chances. Buchanan also said Bush wouldn’t want him standing on the same stage in the debates. “Mr. Bush has abandoned conservatives. That convention was an insult to Reaganism,” he said, referring to the Republican National Convention and the former GOP president. Nader was appearing on the program’s second half. Earlier Monday, in Concord, N.H., Buchanan called his exclu sion from the debate “a willful act of malice and discrimina tion” that he later said “cheats the American people of the right to hear a candidate whose cam paign they’re paying for." Nader and Buchanan have failed to climb out of the single digits in recent national surveys. These same polls, however, show that a third or more would like to see a four-way debate, with Buchanan and Nader join ing Democrat A1 Gore and Republican George W. Bush. The presidential debates sponsored by the commission — have the potential to reach millions of voters and could be crucial in attracting people who might not be swayed through 1 traditional campaigning. The other two debates are scheduled for Oct. 11 in Winston-Salem, N.C., and Oct. 17 in St. Louis. “If you don’t get on national television, you don’t reach the voters, and if you don’t get in the debates, you don’t reach the vot ers,” Nader said. Both Buchanan and Nader have used former wrestler Jesse Ventura to show how debates can influence elections. Ventura barely mustered 10 percent in Minnesota polls before partici pating in candidate debates in the gubernatorial election, which he won in 1998.

Brought up on kiddie couture, she is ready to hit the dance floor in signature style. Hot pants and stiletto heels replace slit jeans and lace-ups. She wears her tops tight, her hair loose and flaunts her daddy’s bank account in gold chains and crystal beads. Such is the contemporary teeny-bopper envisioned by Donatella Versace and the Dolce & Gabbana duo, who showed their second-line col lections on Sunday, the first day of the weeklong Italian ready to-wear preview presentations for spring-summer 2001. Traditionally aimed at the younger set, Versace’s Versus and the D&G label this round upped the ante of disco dress ing. The look was reminiscent of the 1980s, but no matter — daughter won't be able to imag ine that mom could have worn anything that cool. “Girls go crazy for luxury these days," Donatella said after her show, staged in a for mer electrical goods factory. The new collection features ultratight satin pants softened by a demure bow stitched on the backside and topped by silk T-shirts with enticing neck lines. Although the models wore no jewelry, there was plenty of sparkle in the stones that adorned the belts and high heeled sandals and the lavish gold embroidery. The night life theme was more apparent at D&G, where the fun-loving designers creat ed a makeshift disco complete with gilded palm trees, gold leather couches and black lac quered coffee tables, set up under a tent in the garden of their downtown Milan home. The young models teetered down the runway in high stilet to sandals wearing gilded microminis or skintight white satin hot pants matched with brightly sequined tops or skintight flesh-colored T-shirts. Fishnet stockings, gold and crystal jewelry, enormous satin bows in strategic places and a fetching cowboy hat complet ed the look.
