...asked at a hearing. "To be like Saddam Hussein?" On Bush's biggest domestic initiative, Graham supported the President's idea to add individual savings accounts to Social Security but also suggested a heretical payroll-tax increase to finance them. He infuriated the right last year by joining the bipartisan, largely moderate "Gang of 14" that blocked a change in Senate rules that would have ended Democratic filibusters of Bush's judicial nominees. Graham more recently helped ice the appeals-court nomination of Defense Department counsel William Haynes, an architect of the Administration's detainee policy...
...Paging Bipartisan Patriots In his column on Joe Lieberman's defeat in the Connecticut primary [Aug. 21], Joe Klein implies that all Democrats want to return to MoveOn.org's "extremist" vision of the Democratic Party.

Interwoven are interviews with fictional members of the White House staff, the FBI and the Chicago Police Dept...
...Shays is one of the last vestiges of the Republican Party that Abraham Lincoln led, the province of austere New England merchants and flaming abolitionists. He is a former Peace Corps volunteer who has served in the Congress for 19 years, during which he has distinguished himself by producing bipartisan legislation on issues ranging from the environment to campaign-finance reform and immigration. "His vote against the impeachment of Bill Clinton meant a lot to me," says Steve Myers, a retired physicist who is standing next to Moeling. "I've been a longtime Shays supporter, but my feelings toward...
