...feel they have embraced a Judas. Already the changes are striking. Lyons has long been a popular preacher, so powerfully connected that some associates called him the black Pope.

And when he preaches these days, admits Marva Dennard, a Bethelite and Lyons supporter, "he's preaching to himself." One vocal critic, the Rev.

"Buffett has to exit at some stage, and how he does that will determine whether it is a buffet or a banquet...
...entranced than the G.O.P. lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who shared the general belief that when your opponent is shooting himself in the foot, you don't get in the way. Early on, the Republican leadership spread the word to members not to comment or get involved in the scandal lest they lend credence to the idea that this is just another Republican attack. "We're trying to keep the fruitcakes under control," said one G.O.P. staff member. "For us it's better if this thing drags on for a while," the staff member joked. "At least we don't have...
