That's where Bauer comes in, although his tactics do limit his influence inside the Beltway. Gingrich doesn't consult him, and neither does Senate majority leader Trent Lott. Which is why, to the dismay of candidates like Pat Buchanan who hoped to woo his followers, Bauer is now talking about running for President. That would be the ultimate outsider's strategy...
...antitrust trial must concentrate the mind wonderfully, however, for Gates has finally focused on his Washington woes. And he is attacking the issue the way he storms into any battle he's losing: identify the problem, open his wallet, and buy a solution. In this case, that means pricey Beltway sluggers like former Reagan imagemaker Mike Deaver; Congressman-cum-fixer Vin Weber; and Tom Downey, former New York Democratic Congressman and close personal friend of Al ("Year 2000") Gore...

But its haste to build an online empire has left Microsoft throwing lucrative contracts at pretty much any Web developer who knew how to work a mouse, hoping it would create something--anything--for MSN. A Web novice tells of walking into a meeting to pitch ideas and being asked instead for his company...
