...People think of the VA as that red brick building up on the hill, where Uncle Charlie died," says Richard Fuller, director of health-policy program development for the Paralyzed Veterans of America. "They don't realize that the VA is an integral part of the health-care network. With the VA budget being cut and Medicare and Medicaid being capped below existing growth rates, you have people going into health-care limbo...
...progress in recent months--much of it stemming from the efforts of Clinton's envoy, Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke--has forced the President to confront his commitment. Last week the indefatigable Holbrooke was flitting between the Balkan capitals in an effort to, as he told TIME, "get fuller compliance" on the region's fragile cease-fire. It was his final trip before three-way peace talks, refereed by the U.S., kick off Oct. 31 in Dayton, Ohio. While those negotiations promise to be rancorous, the Presidents of Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia are eventually expected to emerge from Wright...
Would such an independent, grass-roots operation still be recognizable--to outsiders or worshippers--as Catholic? Evangelical Protestant Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, thinks it may not: "A lot of us Protestants wish we had a stronger sense of the teaching and shepherding authority of the church, whereas Catholics are loosening up on that.

We simply don't want...
...showdown came on the evening of Sept. 7 at the Newport Beach mansion of billionaire Donald Bren, the Irvine Co. developer and a longtime Wilson backer. In a tense session with Wilson, Bren and Fuller, Gorton recommended bugging out of Iowa for lack of organization, manpower and money. Instead the campaign should concentrate on New York, he said, where TV ads can achieve far more bang for the buck. Fuller argued vehemently against the idea, but Wilson backed Gorton. Fuller then sidelined himself to Washington as fund-raising supervisor and surrogate public campaigner, leaving Gorton supreme in Sacramento--for about...
...Fuller insisted on another change. Soon to be phased out as national finance director is Anne LeGassick, who helped Wilson raise boatloads of money in his gubernatorial races. She has been hampered by national inexperience and federal law that limits donations to $1,000 at a time, instead of the giant pledges to which Wilson was accustomed in California. LeGassick's promise to raise $29 million was seen by insiders as unrealistic. Wilson's fund raisers say he will be lucky to get half that. Until now, though, LeGassick was untouchable: she and Gorton are romantically involved...
