...make a case why this has to go on ad nauseam--and ad nauseam is a good way to put it," a White House official said of the bind Gingrich faces. "I don't think anyone is going to want to have a holiday season spoiled by this subject...
...That's what we did last year when TIME sought to explore the mood of late-century America by sending a team of journalists rolling from town to town and coast to coast along U.S. Highway 50. This week we take a similar high-impact approach to the vital subject of healing, in a 36-page special report on a week in the life of one of the nation's premier teaching hospitals.

It's a strategy that speaks volumes; not only is Hyde hoping to keep the messy subject out of sight for the sake of fast-fading bipartisanship -- not to mention the oft-cited Rodino format -- but the GOP is also recognizing that the defection of a mere 31 Democrats Thursday was not exactly the heartiest support they could have wished for. Republicans, too, are uneasy about...
