Tabulations of the first wave of uncounted ballots in two area races for the U.S. House of Representatives slightly widened the victors' margins Friday, election officials said.

Steve Kuykendall, a Republican state assemblyman, is hosting a cocktail party at a rent-a-ballroom under the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the Los Angeles Harbor. As he speaks to a group of 100 or so Republican supporters, massive container ships go by every few minutes, filling up the bay windows behind him.

It was a classic case of that was then, this is now--Washington style. As the cameras zoomed in on Bill Clinton at a recent White House rally touting gun-control legislation, Brian P. Bilbray, a Republican congressman from San Diego, stood conspicuously alongside the president he had voted to impeach. What's more, Rep. James E. Rogan (R-Glendale), a national hero of conservatives and the No. 1 target of Democrats for his role as an impeachment prosecutor, also was at the ceremony.
