Pink. It has always been easy to pick out Shirley Muldowney from the crowd at an National Hot Rod Association drag race. She's the one in the pink driver's suit with the pink parachutes slowing her 8,000 horsepower, nitromethane-burning Top Fuel dragster. We'll miss her when they're gone. And she is going. Muldowney has pioneered a path for women in motorsports. She was the first woman to obtain an NHRA Top Fuel license and parlayed that into becoming the first and so far only woman to win an NHRA championship in 1977.

One thing you can say for Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett of Maryland's Sixth Congressional District: The Republican incumbent has kept his 1992 campaign promise to hold down government spending even when it imposed pain on his district and his constituents. His critics may not like his opposition to federal aid for snow removal in Western Maryland after the March 1993 blizzard. They may not like his votes against college loans, extended unemployment benefits and defense -- even monies that would have helped Fort Detrick.
