Such ads are part of a tactical two-step by the G.O.P. While national figures like Gingrich and Senate majority leader Trent Lott remain temperate and judicious, party operatives are urging rank-and-file Republicans to exploit Clinton's troubles at will. "It's a good strategy, especially for Republican challengers," says G.O.P. pollster Glen Bolger. When the party ran ads linking Democratic incumbents to an embattled Bill Clinton in 1994, Bolger says, "it worked extremely well.

The teenpix parade marches into the fall by the dozens, including Varsity Blues (with Dawson...
Today the Navajo Nation is but one of many tribes in which some members believe they can exploit their natural resources with minimal risk while others don't want to take any chances. In Alaska spruce forests that served as traditional hunting grounds have been clear-cut by Tlingit loggers. Florida's Miccosukee Indians are attempting to build housing within Everglades National Park, while Utah's Goshute are actively seeking a nuclear-waste dump. And last year Arizona's White Mountain Apaches, protecting their logging and cattle interests, declared that federal agents would be forbidden to enforce the Endangered Species...
