...Atop the highest ground in the city, he can survey the entire territory he hopes to conquer-and plot the ambush he says can clinch that victory. By fall, Gingrich predicted in an interview with TIME, the Republican Congress will have passed a raft of bills to implement its seven-year plan to balance the budget and will confront Bill Clinton with an excruciating choice. He will have to sign on to spending cuts that will inflame his Democratic supporters or veto them and force the shutdown of all but the most essential federal functions, such as air-traffic control...
...vote of 238 to 193, G.O.P. leaders pushed their bold, seven-year balanced-budget plan through the House of Representatives.

Conceived and scripted by veteran screenwriter Abby Mann (Judgment at Nuremberg, The Atlanta Child Murders) and his wife Myra, the film feverishly aims to convince...

Last Sunday, after a tough come-from-behind campaign and a nail-biting finish, Chirac, 62, defeated the Socialists' candidate Lionel Jospin by a comfortable margin. He will thus succeed Socialist Francois Mitterrand, 78, whose second seven-year term ends on May 20. For a man who had lost presidential bids in 1981 and 1988-and who seemed to have been eliminated from this race only a few months ago -- it was an extraordinary personal vindication...
