...attack. "As we get into September," promises Rother, "you will see us getting very aggressive in public." Then there will be the talk shows and the radio campaign, the ads, which the G.O.P. began running last week. Next Monday Gingrich plans to stage a splashy town meeting in Atlanta in order to hear from his constituents and, of course, move his message again. His advisers have warned him that he's playing a high-stakes game. "It's a very tough issue for Republicans because it requires education," says G.O.P. pollster Frank Luntz. "Facts are on the side...

That's partly the failing of the baseball media, but then Major League Baseball has never done much to promote its players for fear it might drive up salaries. So instead of Greg Maddux...
...move that took a heavy personal toll, Freeh demoted deputy director Larry Potts, 47, a 21-year veteran long under fire for his supervision of the Waco and Ruby Ridge sieges. Freeh and Potts had been close friends and confidants since 1990, when they were detailed to Atlanta and successfully prosecuted a murderous mail bomber. They soon became the FBI's odd couple. Freeh was the steely, immaculately tailored prosecutor whom colleagues respected and feared; Potts was the kindly, slightly rumpled investigator agents admired and loved.
