...House and then in the Senate. His victory last week marked the triumph in the usually sober Senate of the breed of young, brash and very conservative Republican that took over the House when Newt Gingrich swept the G.O.P. to power in 1994. Lott is a supply-side tax cutter and a fervent deregulator, though his enthusiasm for deficit reduction withers when it comes to Pentagon pork, which he adroitly delivers to his home state...
...Donner to make low-budget action films in the $10 million range. Setting the abstemious tone at the opening Cannes press conference, Jury President Frances Ford Coppolla, who knows a thing or two about over-extended budgets, blamed Wall Street investors for the "corporate studio mentality" that brought cookie-cutter creativity to the industry following a string of Hollywood financial disasters.

"One reason is because my daddy raised me around workhorses and not show horses," Armey said at one of his recent district meetings. "I have come to like Bob Dole...
...have been more involved in Whitewater. Political wives are often left to build a nest egg while their husbands are building empires--see Marianne Gingrich (who has taken heat for career leaping from beauty consultant to representative of the Israel Export Development Company) and Honey Alexander (a deal cutter so successful she could do infomercials on how to turn $5,000 into $142,000). While the men grapple with macro-finances of the M-1 variety, it falls to their wives to micro-manage tuitions, mortgages and IRAs. Even the aggressively un-Hillary Elizabeth Dole has made--and invested--much...
