...disgraced Ed Rollins (who claimed, then later denied that he paid black ministers for their indifference to help his New Jersey gubernatorial candidate) and admaker Larry McCarthy (of Willie Horton fame). They have made him virtually tamperproof. Republican Congressman Robert Lagomarsino couldn't crack his veneer when the tall Texan appeared out of nowhere to beat him in 1992. Nor could Huffington's Senate primary opponent, former Congressman William Dannemeyer. Huffington sent his wife Arianna Stassinopoulos to debate Dannemeyer -- six times -- instead of going himself. "Campaigning against Huffington," says Dannemeyer, "is like running against a missing person...
...TIME a week before the convention. "I'm not going to spend my time moralizing about the problems," he said. "I'm going to spend my time changing government policy that has assaulted people's incentives to be productive." But at the convention he was the brusque, twangy Texan who knew how to play on the crowd's utter contempt for Clinton, while sidestepping the social issues they care most about.

The narrative coalesces around a few disparate survivors (who have an unexplained immunity to the flu), among them an easygoing Texan (Gary Sinise), a pregnant young woman from Maine (Molly Ringwald), a rock singer (Adam Storke) and an angelic deaf-mute (Rob Lowe). The few people left are mystically drawn into two camps: one led by a messiah- like black woman (Ruby Dee), the other by a satanic "dark...
Greenspan has used subtler tactics to parry thrusts by Congressmen like Henry Gonzalez of Texas, who chairs the House Banking Committee. First, Clinton dampened support for the Texan's proposals for more Fed openness by sending him a letter last September opposing any fundamental changes in the Federal Reserve Act. Then Greenspan sought to outflank Gonzalez in February and March by taking the unprecedented step of announcing the rate hikes the same day the Fed decided to enact them...
