...from Hanson dated Sept. 30 that is in the hands of congressional probers,she writes of press inquiries about the investigation and continues, "I have spoken with the Secretary ((Bentsen)) and also Bernie Nussbaum," who was then White House counsel.

The place evokes a simpler time of grace and grit and innocence, when players didn't seem so greedy or owners so stupid and when both sides apparently realized that the franchise they held was on loan from the fans who had invested so much of themselves in it.

The GOP response, summed up by Wisconsin Representative Toby Roth: "This thing smells to high heaven." Expect the rhetoric to grow worse, says TIME Washington correspondent Suneel Ratan. In further hearings this week, Republicans will get a crack at officials who allegedly had a hand in the White House/Treasury...
Forrest Gump is nobody special, but he meets special people. In his 30-year odyssey through recent American history, this crippled Alabama lad with a 75 IQ bumps into Elvis and John Lennon, J.F.K. and L.B.J., Nixon and Mao. Forrest is an innocent on loan to a cynical world, and in the movie bearing his name he would make little sense if he were played by anyone but Tom Hanks...
