Faced with the largest financial fiasco in U.S. history -- a savings and loan bailout that could cost up to half a trillion dollars -- American taxpayers have barely uttered a peep. "People don't feel any sense of ownership over the Federal Government," says Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin. "It isn't them, and it isn't theirs...
...well as anyone in Washington how strong the know-nothing streak in America is and how to focus its rancor -- which is, in essence, what he has done with the National Endowment for the Arts.

"Victimless crime -- crap," he whispers. "Follow me." The white-haired Hurlbut eases his 225- lb. frame through an entrance marked PEEP SHOWS and into a darkened warren of viewing rooms. In each of the empty plywood cubicles, VCRs still hum, and the trappings of recent sexual activity abound. "The average guy has no idea what scumbags these places are," he snaps...
