Galluccio, the top vote-getter in this month's City Council election, would not confirm that he is throwing his hat in the ring but said that if he runs for any position next year it will be for state representative. To win, Galluccio would have to unseat incumbent Rep. Alice K. Wolf (D-Cambridge), who defeated him in a close race for state representative last year by only 90 votes...
...poster-boy for the conservative agenda. Remarkably, the steamrollering of this one-time G.O.P. rising star by Helms generated only an outcry of deafening silence from his fellow Republicans in control of the Senate. This Capitol Hill embarrassment comes within a year of his failed attempt to unseat incumbent Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) last November...
...Armey, Tom DeLay and John Boehner, figures implicated in the plot along with Bill Paxon, who stepped-down last week. The lieutenants were let off the hook despite a particularly damaging account by DeLay, who admitted he informed GOP rebels he would vote with them if they moved to unseat Gingrich.

Winning, though, will probably mean becoming a team player, since it's unlikely that Oracle can unseat Microsoft alone. That will be a new role for a man who cherishes his lone-warrior reputation as much as his collection of Samurai helmets. Yet the scope of his ambition for network computing--as well as some mellowing that has come with age--appears to have left Ellison ready to cooperate. Already Oracle has begun to form an anti-Microsoft axis with Silicon Valley neighbors Sun Microsystems and Netscape, which Ellison says may have the perfect NC interface with its browser. Inside...
