...American slugger named Karl ("Tuffy") Rhodes may just save the day. The journeyman left-handed hitter with cornrows in his hair and humility in his voice has been lighting up the scoreboard in recent weeks with prodigious home runs. Through Saturday, with three weeks left in the regular season, Rhodes was just three home runs shy of tying the single-season record of 55 set by the legendary Sadaharu Oh in 1964. Japan isn't sure it wants an American to break the mark, but Rhodes seems pumped. "If I get four more in the next 10 games...

Aiming for a little balance, Elizabeth Dole has talked to Bush adviser Karl Rove and Senate Campaign Committee boss Bill Frist about running for Jesse Helms' Senate seat, should he retire...
...months a White House working group led by Karl Rove, the President's top political adviser, had been taking views from all sides on the stem-cell question. Bush turned to the issue seriously three months ago. On May 8 he had lunch with Tommy Thompson, the pro-research Secretary of Health and Human Services. At the time Thompson was fairly certain that Bush would not budge from the position he took during the campaign, when the question had been turned over to aides who handled abortion issues, with predictable results. To Thompson's surprise, Bush insisted that...
