...become his heir apparent. It is also why Paxon, who agreed to support the Speaker, refused when Gingrich urged him to back the re-election of the entire leadership. As Gingrich knows, disgruntled House Republicans are urging Paxon to take on Newt's top deputy, majority leader DICK ARMEY. That way, if Gingrich steps down, Paxon would be in position to replace him. Any doubts Gingrich had about how he's really regarded in the Paxon household were erased later in the week when the New York Post excerpted a book written by Paxon's wife, former G.O.P. Congresswoman turned...
...physicist Richard Seed, or someone like him, will open a cloning clinic, lawmakers are rushing to enact broad restrictions against human cloning. To date, 19 European nations have signed an anticloning treaty. The Clinton Administration backs a proposal that would impose a five-year moratorium. House majority leader Dick Armey has thrown his weight behind a bill that would ban human cloning permanently, and at least 18 states are contemplating legislative action of their own. "This is the right thing to do, at the right time, for the sake of human dignity," said Armey last week...

Egged on by consultants who see IRS bashing as a salvation for a party with no unifying message, Gingrich and other G.O.P. leaders want the conflict with the Administration to last as long as possible. For the past two weeks, G.O.P. majority leader Dick Armey of Texas and Representative Billy Tauzin of Louisiana have been debating tax-reform alternatives in front of packed auditoriums across the country on what they are calling the "Scrap the Code Tour." They both hope to turn the public's visceral anger at the IRS into a willingness to replace...
Hillary's approach this time bears little resemblance to her health-care crusade. The woman who once traded put-downs with House majority leader Dick Armey on Capitol Hill now makes her point by tousling the curls of a toddler in a day-care center for hospital workers in Florida, or cooing over a sock dog made for her by children in an after-school program at the Marine base in Quantico, Va. Even her wardrobe has been transformed: the powerful teals and reds of her health-care days have been replaced by Oscar de la Renta pastels, with pumps...
