...passage. He came in not for a kill, only to place a wound -- perhaps simply for pride of marksmanship. Straightening his Scotch tartan tie, the Congressman from Georgia upended his schedule, rushed from his second-floor office, stepped onto the House floor and delivered a five-minute, late-afternoon blast.
