...team of high-priced packagers -- Ken Kachigian and Lyn Nofziger (both political consultants to Ronald Reagan), the formerly disgraced Ed Rollins (who claimed, then later denied that he paid black ministers for their indifference to help his New Jersey gubernatorial candidate) and admaker Larry McCarthy (of Willie Horton fame). They have made him virtually tamperproof. Republican Congressman Robert Lagomarsino couldn't crack his veneer when the tall Texan appeared out of nowhere to beat him in 1992. Nor could Huffington's Senate primary opponent, former Congressman William Dannemeyer. Huffington sent his wife Arianna Stassinopoulos to debate Dannemeyer -- six times -- instead...
Brown's digging, however, can be dirty and deadly for his opponents. Brown achieved fame as creator of the infamous Willie Horton ads used in the Bush campaign against Michael Dukakis. Now head of the conservative, Virginia-based group Citizens United, Brown has become a major source of Whitewater information for reporters and, he says, congressional investigators. His group's membership has boomed under Clinton, Brown contends. Last summer, he started a monthly newsletter called ClintonWatch (annual subscription: $29), which contains items ranging from Whitewater rumors and innuendo to right-wing critiques of Clinton's agenda.

"Mom, look at this guy. He looks like he has a wart." Twelve-year-old Michael Horton likes trilobites. "It's neat to see fossils and the stones they were fossilized in and their texture," he said...
FLOYD BROWN IS BACK. He's the conservative who created the original Willie Horton ad in 1988 and made a video rehashing the Gennifer Flowers mess in 1992, and he is now covertly feeding information and hard-to-find documents to reporters and congressional Republicans looking into the Whitewater affair. Brown's associate David Bossie has been to Little Rock several times digging for dirt. Evidently some Whitewater tale tellers prefer to deal with Brown & Co., figuring Brown can be trusted to protect their sources...
