It includes the scuttling of George Bush's nomination of John Tower to become Defense Secretary amid rumors about his drinking and behavior toward women, as well as the fight over Clarence Thomas, the ouster of House Speaker Jim Wright on ethics charges and the fight that Newt Gingrich led over the misuse of the House bank.
