STROM THURMOND HAS DRIFTED OFF. The senior senator from South Carolina is posing for a photo in the foyer of his Capitol Hill office building, and though he addresses the camera with an expert smile, his mind is clearly elsewhere. "Here, Senator," suggests his press secretary, Chris Cimko, maneuvering a young female staffer into his line of sight. "Why don't you look over here?" Thurmond brightens. "Well now," he croons, "a pretty young lady like yourself -- that is something to smile about." Cimko presses a Strom Thurmond signature key chain into the senator's palm. He hands it to the photographer and ceremoniously recites his standard line: "You know, I'm president pro tempore of the U.S. Senate, third in line for the presidency." With that, Cimko directs her boss down the hall and begins the slow walk to the elevator. "We have to get back to the office now, Senator," she says, enunciating each syllable. "Back to the office," he says. "That's fine."
