Rank-and-file lawmakers of both parties believe there have been far too many deals coming out of cozy bipartisan sessions like the meeting last week in Hastert's office.

Liberals in the House are livid Gephardt agreed to a bailout, promoted by Republican Senate minority leader Trent Lott among others, that helped airline shareholders without doing anything for laid-off workers. And conservatives went into revolt when Hastert nearly signed on to the idea of making 20,000 airport security workers federal employees. "Both...

Serena's face, already locked stiff, became even more intense as she struggled, double-faulting the break point on her next service. "She's too competitive," said Venus before the tournament began.

"He better have the speech of his life ready tonight," sighed one Republican strategist. Bush did return a few hours later, did stride across the South Lawn and did deliver a reasonably effective national address from the Oval Office. But it wasn't until the following day that he stepped up the intensity of his rhetoric and declared the attacks "acts...
