Rove's passion for history and its precedents sometimes exasperates Bush, who has been known to roll his eyes when his chief strategist launches into a dissertation on, say, what this race has in common with the election of 1896. But Bush owes his phenomenal political rise--from a novice underdog candidate for Texas Governor in 1994 to the heavily favored G.O.P. front runner for President just five years later--in large part to Rove. On Saturday, when Bush handily won the straw poll, the victory was a validation of a risky campaign plan Rove devised late last year, after...

Richard Butler of Aryan Nations told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer last week that Furrow had probably been motivated by "the war against the white race."

Two girls, 13 and 14 years old." Curtness, colleagues say, masks his real nature. He's a tough guy, they say, but an enlightened, modern one. Still, in addition to a fondness for wrestling and judo, he professes admiration for the iron discipline of Yuri Andropov, the former KGB boss who ruled the U.S.S.R. in the early 1980s...
