That's where Bauer comes in, although his tactics do limit his influence inside the Beltway. Gingrich doesn't consult him, and neither does Senate majority leader Trent Lott. Which is why, to the dismay of candidates like Pat Buchanan who hoped to woo his followers, Bauer is now talking about running for President. That would be the ultimate outsider's strategy...

According to papers released by the Federal Aviation Administration, the fuel tanks of 26 planes--13 civilian and 13 military--have blown up since 1959. By week's end frequent flyer and Senate majority leader Trent Lott pronounced himself "very nervous" and promised hearings on the topic...

While many Republicans talk about lowering income-tax rates, Senate majority leader TRENT LOTT last week named making payroll taxes deductible as a more likely reform. And, hey, Democrat TED KENNEDY's a big fan too, listing a cut as a top priority for next year. In a private make-nice meeting last week with House Democratic minority leader DICK GEPHARDT, White House chief...
