	NRA clout is outgunning Feinstein / Assault weapons ban renewal in doubt
		Dianne Feinstein knows the odds are increasingly daunting as she tries to win congressional renewal of her 10-year-old assault weapons ban before it expires Sept. 13, and she warns that if the law lapses "you can expect the market to become flooded'' with such guns as AK-47s and Uzis.
		Feinstein is searching for another piece of legislation to serve as a vehicle for her amendment, which bans the manufacture and sale of 19 types of semiautomatic weapons and ammunition clips of more than 10 rounds.
		Feinstein and her allies are trying to stir up public interest in the debate, but it's hard in a political climate where the war in Iraq, the battle against terrorism and economic concerns are at center stage.

		Feinstein, "a thrice-married Jewish woman from the kook capital of America," came close to being picked as Walter Mondale's running mate in the 1984 presidential election.
		Roberts's penetrating biography reveals Feinstein as a pragmatic, aggressive politician full of intriguing contradictions: a trailblazer for women but often at odds with feminists; ambitious but lacking in confidence at crucial moments in her career; cheerful and upbeat but lacking in humor and a sense of irony.
		In this generally favorable biography, Feinstein is portrayed as a complex, sometimes contradictory person, but the author fails to explore adequately the complexity or explain the reasons for the contradictions.
