...Leaders Newt Gingrich of Georgia and John Rousselot of California, both Republicans, also had an impressive lobbying force behind them. Among the heavyweights: the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Federation of Independent Business and the staff of the 250,000-member U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

In The Challenge, Scott Glenn dines on live eels and beetles; stands buried up to his neck in dirt for five days; gets karated or garroted every five...

Some stopped off to visit family sites like the grave of Haley's great-great-grandfather, Chicken George. "It was, of course, very emotional," said Haley.
