Gephardt also has sought to diffuse power by spreading it around. As many as 50 Democrats meet daily with him to plan both strategy and policy, and he has put some of the caucus' most conservative members in critical positions. Only weeks after the election, he recruited Texan Chet Edwards to take charge of part of his vote-counting operation; Edwards himself would later vote for three-quarters of Gingrich's Contract with America. And when it came to developing anticrime policy for the caucus, Gephardt turned not to Conyers but to Bart Stupak of Michigan, an ardent...
...daughter; the couple who fell in love as flight attendants 21 years ago and worked side by side on the New York-Paris route; the insurance-company executive who hoped to finally strike it rich by cutting a deal in Europe; the French "flat-picking" guitarist, a protege of Chet Atkins', who was on his way home after being honored at Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame.

Max (Chris Eigeman), a guy so jaded that every new experience is deja vu, falls in with cheeky Kate (Cara Buono).

The young men, especially, are "media slaves," infomaniacs. Who would win, Freddy or Jason? Does BANKRUPT come up more often on Wheel of Fortune...
...with Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. A long-time sideman for such musicians as John Hiatt and John Mayall, the Mississippi-born, Lafayette-bred Landreth also played with Chenier in his prime. His first major-label solo album, 1992's Outward Bound, displayed a brilliant command of styles, including Chet Atkins-style flat picking, Delta blues and slide guitar. His most recent album, South of I-10 (referring to the interstate that bisects Louisiana), is even better. Creole Angel, for example, features a Zydeco-like repeated riff that builds to an overpowering climax. Landreth's variety of accents embraces...
