...Bush adviser Karl Rove told allies that any trigger "is dead on arrival with this President." The Bushies argue that a tax cut without a guarantee would be useless in reviving the economy. "These tax cuts are important because people plan investment and savings on them," says Nebraska Republican Chuck Hagel. "If you're playing around with that, the uncertainty of that will withhold commitments of capital investments, which create productivity and jobs and tax revenues." Many Democrats aren't wild about triggers either--but for very different reasons. "My preference is to reduce the size...
...ironic moment: for five years, Democrats have been mouthing off in support of McCain's reform bill while knowing that procedural roadblocks thrown up by Republicans would keep it from coming to a vote. "But this time we're playing with real bullets," says G.O.P. Senator Chuck Hagel, who is sponsoring a rival bill.

As the crowd roared and waved miniature American flags, Nelson turned his frozen smile to Hagel. "You haven't come out for his tax plan yet, have...
...networks have nontraditional-comedy pilots in contention for next fall. NBC is considering a live-improv sitcom. Dharma & Greg creator Chuck Lorre is working on an interactive sitcom, whose viewers will vote on plot twists, for Fox, which is also developing a series about a bunny puppet who lands a starring role in a children's show. But the networks are hardly abandoning the traditional sitcom. ABC is hedging its bets this spring with two very conventional-looking ones, starring Damon Wayans and Joan Cusack. Even Apatow says, "I like cinematic comedy, but I still think the best show...
