...PRESBYTERIAN Church, there's a black Jesus in front, a white Jesus in back and folks of both colors in between. The black Jesus depicted on a stained-glass window in front used to be white, but the pastor of Oakhurst, the Rev. Gibson Stroupe, and his wife Caroline Leach tinted the once pink portrait brown. Both Leach and Stroupe are white, and she admits "we did get some flak" for the racial alteration.

But if one faith unites and encourages both wings of the G.O.P., it is the evidence from the election -- and from Clinton...
...grilling of administration witnesses. Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R-N.Y.), destined to chair the Banking Committee, says he'llresume hearingswithin 60 days of taking power in January. And he said he would not hesitate to use his subpoena power "if we find people not being cooperative." Rep.
