...Delay is more than another Republican Clinton basher: he is the general who lined up the final votes to impeach the President. So when the House majority whip strode smiling toward the Oval Office one morning this spring, Bill Clinton's aides whirled around with who-let-this-guy-in grimaces of disbelief. DeLay's excuse was a White House bill signing with other members of Congress. Yet as soon as Clinton saw him, the President walked over, shook his hand and drew the Texas Representative aside. There were golf jokes. And then two of Washington's biggest adversaries settled...
...Firmly rooted in their eponymous theories of musical "de-evolution," Devo burst onto the musical scene in the late '70s with the memorable "Jocko Homo" and "Mongoloid," and continued producing songs like the oft-covered "Girl U Want" and, yes, "Whip It." The band carved its own niche through minimal instrumentation, precise rhythms and sing-songy atonality; it became known for its cover versions, which "de-evolved" classics like the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" into their bare structural elements. Remembered by most for their early contributions to music video in red flowerpot hats...
...Senate majority leader Trent Lott and Judiciary Committee chairman Orrin Hatch. Undeterred by George W. Bush's lack of enthusiasm for such partisan theatrics, Lott boasted he would get to the bottom of where the obviously hopeless negotiations stood at the time of the dawn raid.

He was far more publicly incensed by U.S. marshals using guns to forestall the threatened violence of the Miami crowd than he ever was over guns used by children to slaughter their classmates...
...fierce 22-year-old daughter Laila made a splash in her pro debut last October, Frazier-Lyde has ratcheted the hype up a notch. Sounding more like her father's greatest rival, the lawyer and mother of three has vowed to carry on the Frazier legacy and "whip Laila's butt"--preferably in September, on the 25th anniversary of the Thrilla in Manila. Ali's response? "That's cute. But first let's see if she can win some fights." She can. In her third win in three bouts earlier this month, she scored a first-round knockout. Explains...
House Republican whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) has called the raid a "frightening event." What is truly frightening is that, for five months, the rule of law was replaced by the rule of the mob. It is frightening that such irresponsible behavior would continue with the tacit support of local authorities. And it is frightening that a community could let its political agenda cloud its best judgment by preventing a boy from being reunited with his father...
