"Charlie, how the hell can you do this?" groaned Kennedy when Norwood came back to confront his old gang. Norwood admitted he didn't know the details of the deal he had just made. House G.O.P. leaders rushed the bill to the floor while it was still being written. Democrats denounced it as an industry bill of rights.

It is said she presided over a massacre there of 22 men. They made a movie about her wild, romantic youth - Devi seen with rifle slung across her back, galloping hell for leather across the Gangetic plain...
...abstinence from alcohol. In a sublimated and nonviolent way (unless you count the lamp), our nearest version to Phoolan Devi may be....Hillary Clinton. Her defining struggle was Bill Clinton (playing the roles of both her nasty husband and her robber-lover).
