...Chief of Staff Leon Panetta had a different reaction: "I think all of this is outrageous that they would use that kind of pettiness to shut down the federal government." Later, Gingrich sought to downplay the incident as just one of many factors blocking consensus. But TIME's Viveca Novak notes the Speaker's recent outbursts are taking a toll. "After the string of successes the Speaker has had this year, a remarkable record by any measure, at this, his moment of truth, Gingrich isn't holding it together that well. Some of his colleagues...
TIME's Viveca Novak reports that Rep. Waldholtz has been a rising star among new GOP members of Congress.

Many of Rimm's statistics, Hoffman and Novak argue, are either misleading or meaningless; for example, the study's now frequently cited claim that 83.5% of the images stored on the Usenet newsgroups are pornographic. Hoffman and Novak maintain...
