James Jeffords defected from the Republican Party and cost GOP senators their chairmanships, New Mexico Sen. Pete Domenici was asked about retiring. "I'm running" for a new term, he replied swiftly. Domenici, who wields power as head of the Budget Committee, is one of e nine former committee chairmen whose terms expire next year. Like many of them, he is a safe in a seat bet for that, would otherwise be competitive. Republicans hope they run again, and Domenici, 71, and many others already have reaffirmed plans to do so. Democrats, recalling their own painful recent past, wish otherwise. soon-to-b- Either way, their decisions, as well as other repercussions from Jeffords' switch, will help shape next year's battle for control of a Senate that remains narwith rowly divided, one independent. Republicans must defend 20 seats, Democrats only 13. 'It's going to be tougher for them (Republicans), both keeping their incum 50-4- 9 bents and exciting people to challenge our incumbents," said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Democratic Potential challengers suddenly have added reason to run, she said. "They think, 'Gosh, this is the winning team and I want to be part of it,' rather than, 'I'm going to take a chance.' " Democrats know firsthand how that can work. They lost their majority in 1994, then watched two years later as eight senior lawmakers retired and three of their seats fell to the GOP. This time, said Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee, chairman of the GOP Senate campaign committee, "we don't know what the impact's going to be." But, the abrupt loss of power will focus their attention, he said. "The goal for the first time is clear, regain the majority. Up until now it's beon, 'Let's try to hold onto 0 a fragile voting " majority,' referring to Vice President Dick Cheney's 51-5- '' 1 t m, f sm mm m m " tics. Then there was Alice Roosevelt, in a class of her own. teen-age- Her 1980 obituary in The Washington Post tells of a girl who hid snakes in her White House bedroom, smoked in an era when only men were supposed to, and shot her revolver at telegraph poles from the back of a train during a presidential trip in the West. In later years, when she reigned as a Washington socialite, she had her butler "concoct a very passable gin from oranges" during Prohibition. Of her White House days, she said simply: "My father was president. I was without a particle of responsibility other than to enjoy myself, and I was alert for all that came my way."

Before the Carter children, there were the Ford children. Susan Ford Bales, r a when her father, Gerald Ford, was president, now says she probably did some underage drinking then, too. But she was subjected to genteel scrutiny at the time people clucked when she wore jeans in the White House and the social set was riveted when she had her prom there. Brother Jack Ford tended toward the unkempt, like many young men in the 1970s. He hung out with celebrities and admitted later to smoking marijuana.
