...floor and delivered a five-minute, late-afternoon blast. He aimed at one minor and carefully buried clause, which he decried as "designed to kill pressure from back home that has been so effective in this Congress." (It had rankled the Christian Coalition, a sometime Gingrich ally.) Following the sneak attack, the bill saw 35 Democrats breaking from party ranks and voting with Gingrich on a procedural rule prior to the bill's final passage. Gingrich's mission -- tweak the Democrats -- was accomplished. A twinkle lights the Georgian's pale brown eyes: "The House Democrats are obsessed with...
...repaired faulty duct work. Or that Corder, by all accounts, appears to have been on only a suicide mission and was not angry with Clinton or his policies. The unlikely incident confirmed all too publicly what security officials have long feared in private: the White House is vulnerable to sneak attack from the air.

Key Republicans on the committee predict they'll successfully defeat the thing Wednesday, prompting TIME Washington correspondent Dick Thompson to speculate that Moynihan (with White House coaxing) has set up the GOP members to be the spoilers...
...display, say the vets, is tilted against the U.S., portraying it as an unfeeling aggressor, while paying an inordinate amount of attention to Japanese suffering. Too little is made of Tokyo's atrocities, the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor or the recalcitrance of Japan's military leaders in the late stages of the war -- the catalyst for the deployment of atomic weapons. John T. Correll, editor in chief of Air Force Magazine, noted that in the first draft there were 49 photos of Japanese casualties, against only three photos of American casualties.
