Shrum, a relative newcomer to Gore's circle, worked in 1988 for the presidential campaign of Gore's bitterest rival, Dick Gephardt. He has become the public face of the campaign at its trickiest moments--during the furor over Gore's gaffe on a gays-in-the-military litmus test, for instance--and has what Gore aides say is a near psychic ability to anticipate what questions will come up in debates. Widely considered the Democrats' most capable wordsmith, he wrote Ted Kennedy's soaring "the dream shall never die" speech for the 1980 convention as well as the Senator...

Only last May, the subcontinent's bitterest adversaries seemed poised on the brink of catastrophe as both detonated atomic devices and became the latest and most aggressive members of the nuclear club.

"If I ever had to defend myself to the Church of Buffett," he says at dinner, "I would only say that the bitterest artists I know are those who had the chance to jump through the hoop and chose not to take it. They stayed on as coffeehouse singers. But I jumped through, not knowing what was on the other side. And when I got there, I had to deal with it. It wasn...
...hopes the White House had of a scandal-free "back-to-work" week were dissolving Tuesday, after the GOP leadership launched its bitterest attack on the President since the Lewinsky crisis began. ?I believe he?s a shameless person,? House Majority Leader Dick Armey announced to a group of 50 high school students -- adding that if he were in Clinton?s shoes, ?I would be so filled with shame that I would resign.? And in case anyone had any doubt, Newt Gingrich added a reminder that the dismissal of the Paula Jones suit would not impede a possible impeachment probe...
