...with his ads, he can't seem to keep straight which is his first priority: tax cutting or deficit cutting. He recently described the economy as being "in the tank," although each new piece of economic data suggests otherwise. The lack of discipline reached the point where policy czar Donald Rumsfeld, a former Nixon aide, urged Reed to put a stronger handler--plus four personal secretaries--on the plane with Dole, just the way Nixon used to travel. Reed asked Margaret Tutwiler, a longtime top aide to former Secretary of State James Baker, to take over the fuselage team...

But when the bill got to the House, Kemp, who still believed that growth spurred by tax cuts would make deep spending cuts unnecessary, got White House chief of staff Donald Regan to persuade Ronald Reagan to oppose it. The bill died after Reagan allied himself with none other than Democratic Speaker Tip O'Neill to do it in. The episode helped Democrats regain control of the Senate the next year.

Kaplan shrugged off the gibe, saying, "No, it'll be like the movie Field of Dreams--build it, and they will...
...they shower with Vaseline--the story is simple, yet stirring: rednecks rape a black girl; the girl's father, Carl Lee (Samuel L. Jackson), retaliates with murder; he goes on trial in a racially volatile atmosphere. Enter his idealistic young lawyer, Jake (Matthew McConaughey); his mentor, Lucien (Donald Sutherland); the ruthless prosecutor (Kevin Spacey); and a Klan member or two (e.g. Kiefer Sutherland)--the story's ready-made. Sandra Bullock weaves her way through the story as Jake's indispensable assistant...
