Or a major contributor? Man: No, but I'd like to be. I'm a great admirer of all he's done for long island businessmen. Woman: I see. Well, if you'll just leave your card sir, I'll see that Senator D'Amato gets your message. Man: Would a $5,000 check from my PAC to his campaign war chest speed up the process? Just asking. Woman: Won't you please have a seat, Mr. Wanamaker? Man: I hope I'm not being too...uh...forward here... Woman: Not at all. This office specializes in customized constitutent servicing.
