...Pascagoula shipyard worker, Lott, 54, has served as his party's whip, or top vote counter, for 10 of the past 15 years, first in the House and then in the Senate. His victory last week marked the triumph in the usually sober Senate of the breed of young, brash and very conservative Republican that took over the House when Newt Gingrich swept the G.O.P. to power in 1994. Lott is a supply-side tax cutter and a fervent deregulator, though his enthusiasm for deficit reduction withers when it comes to Pentagon pork, which he adroitly delivers to his home...
...married and divorced twice. Her first husband was Benny Kornegay, a shipyard worker; her second, the jazz bassist Ray Brown.

Poland's former president has been on unpaid leave since he left the birthplace of the movement that eventually toppled communist rule in 1989 to become Solidarity's national chairman. Walesa claims he needs to return to work because presidents are not provided with pensions under current Polish law. "I'm without money for living, and it's necessary for me to work," he said after arriving at the shipyard in a state-owned chauffeur-driven Mercedes, a perk he is entitled...
