...A.N.C.'s social-welfare department, a move that produced protests inside the organization. That same month Jerry Richardson, "coach" of the Mandela football club, was sentenced to death for Seipei's murder. During his trial, the three surviving youths testified that Winnie beat them with her fists and a whip. She was trying to force them to claim that the white Methodist minister with whom they had taken refuge had sexually abused them, they said. Winnie denies the charges.

G.O.P. minority leader Bob Michel can scarcely hide his irritation with his feisty subordinate. In press conferences last week, Gingrich, a member of the budget-summit conference group, lashed out at "tax-and-spend Democrats" and said it was impossible to deal with them as if they were "responsible people." Michel, charged by the White House with the task of working out cooperative budget negotiations, seethed at this torching of bipartisan goodwill. Visitors to Michel's office say that when...
