Several of the governors, including Michigan's John Engler, have said in public that it?s time for Nicholson to pack his bags. Following the model used by the Democrats...

This series has included interviews with several hundred people in 24 states. "If you ask Don and Jim the sources for a point, be prepared for memos that tell you more than you ever want to know," says Steve Lovelady, the Time Inc. editor-at-large who worked on this project and who, as the Inquirer's managing editor before that, worked with Don and Jim on half a dozen other major series...
