The projects ranged from the commonplace, like tax cuts, to the arcane, like the development of Internet technology in the practice of medicine. On the document's first page, in capital letters, was the rubric under which all this dizzy activity was to take place: NEWTWORLD. Newtworld was a very busy place. And Newt Gingrich was a very ambitious man. Which in the end is what...
