...grabbing credit for a TV spot Castellanos had made, the infamous ad showing a pair of white hands crumpling a job-rejection notice while a voice said, "You needed that job...but they had to give it to a minority." A number of G.O.P. operatives, led by Paul Curcio, then the political director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, warned candidates that Morris was a closet Democrat. Morris promised he wouldn't work for Democrats, but Curcio learned he was handling one in Mississippi. "He always had an excuse," says Curcio. "'Oh, that guy's going to change parties.' Then...

In addition to slashing costs, chairman and chief executive Bill Monahan vows to create a lean, quick-strike culture that tailors its products to the needs of its customers. "Anybody and everybody will be interacting with the customer," he says. Monahan's ambitious goal is to post a total of $150 million in "economic profit"--defined as operating income after taxes and deductions for the cost...
...voice when he met with the Clintons in the White House. But the trach was not in a good position. He was nervous when he got to the Hill: "I mean, all the media were there. I think 12 or 15 Senators were there, all friends and supporters--Paul Simon, Pat Leahy, [Paul] Wellstone from Minnesota, Nancy Kassebaum, John Kerry from Massachusetts, Bob Kerrey from Nebraska--all there in the front row, two feet away from me.
