...stirring moral lecture, but critics lined up to pillory the limited enforcement measures Bush proposed to rectify the situation. Even his own party wants more; by Thursday the Senate was debating tougher proposals to protect investors, and Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert endorsed those, rather than Bush's more limited remedies.

His wife had incorporated yet another group, Concerned Women for America, in 1979, and today it claims 500,000 members, about the same number reported by the National Organization for Women. In 1987, shortly after LaHaye became a co-chairman of Republican Jack Kemp's short-lived presidential campaign...
