...charter plane stood by in Little Rock, Arkansas, ready to rush a cover picture of President-elect Clinton to an imaging center in Houston for final transmittal (President Bush's headquarters is in Houston; his picture would have to travel only across town). Says Knowlton: "From a production viewpoint, it's murder. I swore four years ago I'd never do this to myself again -- but here...
...less attention we pay to them, the smaller their forum will be--and the more they will have to resort to illegal means that will land them in jail and will also paint them as the extremist group that they are.

The House of Representatives gave him another headache by voting, 260 to 148, to overturn the Administration's ban on the use of fetal tissue obtained from planned abortions for medical research. The restriction had been imposed in response to pro-lifers' contention that use of such tissue increases the number of abortions. Bush promises a veto, which will almost certainly stick. His bona fides with...
