...White House to hammer out a compromise. No one expects that to happen, however, since the Treasury Department will be pushing its own plan. Beyond that, even the seemingly minor differences in the bills loom very large when viewed from the perspective of those who would be hurt. The tax credit for new investments, for example, is worth some $29 billion a year to corporations; they see it as vital to a sustained recovery and would wage a fierce fight to keep it.

But Jepsen, a conservative first-termer, had plenty of problems of his own doing. Last year he claimed congressional immunity to beat a Washington traffic ticket, and in June the born-again Christian was forced to confess that he had applied for membership in a Des Moines spa-cum-brothel in 1978.
