...himself up and proved a spirited minority leader. Next week, when Republicans caucus, he'll be easily picked as majority leader. "I just feel exhilarated about having another opportunity," he told TIME. He also adds: "I've learned some lessons. Clearly, I'll make greater use of our committee chairmen than I did the last time. I will make a greater effort to consult and reach out to Republicans and Democrats." Lott made pains not to gloat post election, realizing he now had to produce legislation and he'd need Democrats to do that...
...Daschle seized on the document as reason to appoint an independent commission to examine intelligence failures prior to Sept. 11, an idea the White House intensely opposes. Daschle says he will bring a bill to the floor of the Senate next week, when Congress returns from recess. The chairmen of the joint panel of the House and Senate Intelligence committees, which is investigating the attacks, said they will begin hearings next week. As the inquiry moves forward, Rowley is likely to become a star witness. Last week Iowa Republican Charles Grassley offered Rowley written assurance that...
Your piece on Miramax and its co-chairmen, Harvey and Bob Weinstein [SHOW BUSINESS, April 8], asked, "Has Harvey Lost His Way?" Many relevant facts suggest otherwise.

The co-chairmen are very different. Cook is a graceful blueblood; Winnick is a colorful native of New York's Long Island who is as lavish with his friends as he is with politicians. Two years ago, after downing hot dogs, hamburgers and french fries at a Beverly Hills deli, Winnick took his lunch partners...
...other political hot potato is who will serve on this new committee. Daschle and Lott are under growing pressure from their caucuses to appoint the chairmen and ranking minority members from the affected committees to be members of the new committee. That would lead to deadlock, Republican and Democratic leaders privately agree. "You'd end up having chairmen with their ego problems trying to deal with each other," says a GOP senator. Lott would rather pick other members for the panel who have some expertise in the subject...
