...certainly isn't enough to protect Dole's status as heir apparent. Polls last week were indicating that while Dole would narrowly beat Powell for the Republican nomination, only Powell could beat Clinton in the general election. That scenario leaves a gaping hole in Dole's game plan, which depends, among other things, on his being able to argue that he's the most electable Republican candidate in a field of unknowns and extremists. If Powell doesn't run, Newt Gingrich has often said he just might. Last week in an interview with TIME, he repeatedly hinted that Dole...

Huffington was stung by press skepticism about her devotion to volunteer work, which waned after her husband's election campaigns.

"We need to have humor in politics." As the spectacle of Arianna Huffington unfolds...
...Johnson & Johnson/Merck, producer of Pepcid, beat SmithKline to the punch. It won FDA approval of its over-the-counter version, Pepcid AC, and began marketing it in June. Between its introduction and August, when Tagamet HB first appeared in pharmacies, Pepcid AC gained a 22% share of the entire antacid market. "Pepcid had a window of opportunity, and it exploited it well in the marketplace," says Silvermine Consulting's Kelly. "That's an amazing accomplishment." Amazing, and expensive. J&J/Merck and SmithKline are each spending some $100 million in marketing campaigns for their new acid blockers...

True to his word, Sweeney led a protest march through New York City's garment district the day after his election...
