...Bauer's opponents, but what if the stakes are higher: the whole Congress? Abortion has long divided the Republican Party, and divided parties lose elections. When the 165 members of the Republican National Committee gather for their annual winter meeting this week in Palm Springs, Calif., they'll have a stink bomb on their hands--a resolution that would prohibit the R.N.C. from funding any candidate not opposed to partial-birth abortion.

CBS is back in the game of broadcasting the NFL with a $4 billion deal that steals the AFC from the Peacock network and brings in the crucial 18- to 49-year-old male viewer.
