...bullet. Still, the whole thing didn't quite compute for me. Gunfire was never a part of The Cosby Show. Roadside homicide didn't figure in.

Clinton and his new team--a competent, bland bunch of centrists--don't want to stake the success of the second term on perilous negotiations with Congress. The lesson of the still unfolding Gingrich scandal, White House aides say, is how much control members of the G.O.P. leadership still exert over the rank and file.

I walked back to my room...
