Looking properly contrite and a trifle weary, fallen Televangelist Jim Bakker emerged from his self-imposed seclusion in Palm Springs, Calif., last week. Flanked by Wife Tammy and Son Jamie, 12, the boyish Bakker, once ruler of the $129 million PTL television and theme-park ministry, delivered a message of conciliation ("We will not fight -- we don't want to be part of a circus") and seeming acceptance ("Without a miracle of God, we will never minister again...

He has visited Iowa so often -- 27 times since 1985 -- that he has been nicknamed "Iowa's seventh Congressman" (the state has six). The boyish-looking lawyer's penchant for work is well known: after arriving in Washington in 1977, he quickly rose through Congress to become chairman of the House Democratic Caucus in 1984.
