Huzzahs rang out from Ovitz's new colleagues . Says Robert Iger, president of Cap Cities/abc: "My initial instinct, and the instinct that remains, is that I'm thrilled with it. Michael Ovitz knows our business, so there's a familiarity that will lend support." Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of the Disney subsidiary Miramax Films, calls Eisner and Ovitz "the greatest one-two combination since Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale--only they're both Koufax. Mike Ovitz is the No. 1 talent magnet. Talent loves him. If you say, 'Hey, Mike, I'm having trouble casting this movie,' in about...
This piece of the game plan is the clearest evidence that Gingrich learned from the last war. As co-chairman of the House G.O.P. health-care task force, he had a ringside seat for the White House debacle on that issue in 1994. Hillary Clinton's task force froze out powerful groups while the plan was being formulated, then tried to arouse public support by portraying insurance and drug companies as the villains of American health care...
...White House pulled no punches today in putting Rep. Bill Zeliff (R-N.H), co-chairman of the House committee investigatingthe Waco tragedy, in his place for comments he made Sunday during an appearance on NBC's "Meet The Press."

Zeliff didn't stop there: "We had a tank that went through that front door, went into that area where women and children were there (and) we killed over 80 people...
Close indeed. The Bible's account of the event that rests at the heart of Christian faith, they concluded, is a poetic rendering of a devout wish but certainly not an authentic record. Crossan, who is co-chairman of the seminar with Funk, argues it this way: since the Crucifixion was conducted by Roman soldiers, he reckons, Jesus' body was most likely left on the Cross or tossed into a shallow grave to be eaten by scavenger dogs, crows or other wild beasts. As for Jesus' family and followers, depicted in the Bible as conducting a decent burial...
...making his case, however, Clinton was not helped by the fact that he entrusted the job of winning votes in Congress to ex-Wall Street whiz and newly appointed Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. The former co-chairman of Goldman Sachs knew many of Mexico's leading industrialists (his business contacts included Telefonos de Mexico; cement giant Cemex; and Banco National de Mexico, the country's largest bank). But after two years as head of Clinton's National Economic Council, Rubin knew little about lobbying Capitol Hill. Although Treasury had prepared a state-by-state analysis of how a Mexican meltdown...
