...month after the staff began debating it, the Dole campaign is still on the fence about a key strategic decision--whether to spend millions to fight for California, where the latest polls show a 10-point gap. Republican lawmakers, led by Newt Gingrich, are urging Dole to contest the state, if only to help the effort to hang on to the 26 Republican House seats there. Kemp's promoters, meanwhile, have their own reasons for wanting to contest their man's home state. They hope a good performance in California will help restore Kemp's presidential credentials after his lackluster...
Clinton's missteps don't much bother her--she doesn't care about Whitewater or his affairs, doesn't know who Dick Morris is--but the President's manner does. "I hate that Clinton said he didn't inhale." She likes Hillary Clinton and isn't keen on Newt Gingrich. "His name alone irritates me. I know that a newt is a lizard. We had them growing up. If you touch their tails, they break off as a defense mechanism, but then they grow back." Not that she's thrilled by her Congressman, Richard Gephardt, who would replace Gingrich...
...campaign has had its share of ideological fingerpointing--Pressler calling Johnson too liberal for South Dakota, Johnson calling Pressler a Medicare-slashing friend of Newt Gingrich's--but its defining issue appears to be the flap over Washington Babylon, a thinly documented book that accuses Pressler of marrying in 1982 amid speculation that he was gay and of being seen at a "louche rendezvous" in Washington.

...supposed to have been Newt Gingrich's valedictory, the week in which the first Republican House in 40 years could count its accomplishments before returning home to face the voters. As he sat last Thursday afternoon on the sun-washed balcony of his Capitol suite, the Speaker ticked them off: the line-item veto, a sweeping telecommunications law, a crackdown on illegal immigration, an expansion of health insurance, welfare reform, even a savings of $500,000 by ending daily ice deliveries to congressional offices. Then, in Gingrich fashion, he reached back--quite a reach--for a historical analogy. "You could...
...that moment two floors below, a bipartisan group of Congressmen--two Democrats, two Republicans--was deciding there might be a pretty good case to be made against Gingrich. After weeks of partisan squabbling in Congress, the investigative subcommittee of the House ethics committee voted unanimously to expand its two-year probe of the Speaker. Soon after, the full 10-member committee seconded the decision. Of the four new charges they decided to pursue, the most serious one asks whether the Speaker gave investigators "accurate, reliable and complete information"--meaning, did he lie to them?--about the tangled links between...
