After Kean complained of chest pains, doctors sped the popular two termer into the operating room after determining he was dangerously close to a heart attack...
...Term Limits Legal Institute has targeted more than 60 foes of term limits in the House, most of them Democrats, in congressional districts where the majority of citizens who voted on such referendums favor limits.

At a press conference last week at which anti-bailout freshmen teamed with conservative commentator Pat Buchanan, first-termer Wamp promised to vote ``with the people of east Tennessee this time and not with [Fed Chairman] Mr. Greenspan.'' And while that puts the freshmen on the opposite side from their own leadership as well, Stockman says, ``In reality, I'm trying to save them from themselves...
