...dissolved into a shouting match, and Ed moved out of their home. The next day Kathleen sought out her friend the President in the Oval Office. As she raced home from that controversial meeting, Ed Willey pulled his blue Isuzu Trooper off a country road and, after blowing a tire, walked into the woods and shot himself. "I deserve your eternal scorn," Willey wrote his wife in a suicide note in which he apologized for his financial misdeeds and enclosed a lottery ticket and a $100 bill...

The district is made up mostly of fiscally conservative, socially moderate Republicans, which is why Speaker Newt Gingrich was backing Brooks Firestone, an heir to the family tire business who became a winemaker and, since 1994, a moderate, pro-choice state assemblyman. But a furious Bauer ponied up $100,000 for an ad campaign that zings Firestone for his refusal to back a ban on partial-birth abortions and promotes instead the more conservative underdog, state assemblyman...
