...arena’s big-screen monitors. Former president Bill Clinton, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy ’54-’56 (D-Mass.) received raucous applause when they were shown on the screens, while Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), former Sen. Rod Grams (R-Minn.) and Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura were jeered and booed. When Walter Mondale was shown, the crowd could be heard chanting “Fritz, Fritz, Fritz” amidst the loud cheering. Ventura and his wife walked out during the service; the governor...
...likely to win overwhelming bipartisan support for a resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq, and any true Social Security reform has already been buried under the nasdaq avalanche. Beyond that, it all comes down to the numbers: a 51-49 G.O.P. Senate would put Mississippi Republican Trent Lott in charge of the mood and message once again.

His administration would have to consult with the Senate and get its approval. In the House, Hyde had decided his hearings wouldn't be a cakewalk...

FBI Director Robert Mueller's mea culpa last week gave Daschle some needed cover for his proposal. But the danger for Daschle was closer to home: his action just might jeopardize the Democrats' tenuous hold on the Senate, and his position as majority leader. Polls show that while Republicans are vulnerable on domestic issues, Democrats are ill advised to go after Bush's popular war on terrorism. And no one knows that better than Daschle's rival Lott. "Our message...
...White House is getting the message. At a meeting on April 10, sources tell TIME, Senate minority leader Trent Lott informed Bush that Republicans were under increasing pressure from the religious right to back Sharon. The next day, as Secretary of State Colin Powell headed to the Middle East, a group of Evangelical leaders led by the Rev. Jerry Falwell and former presidential candidate Gary Bauer sent Bush a letter demanding that the Administration "end pressure" on Sharon to withdraw from the West Bank. After Falwell adjured his followers to do the same, the White House was flooded with calls...
