...usual, the Democrats are divided. Senate majority leader George Mitchell, flanked by budget committee chairman Jim Sasser, favors a risky wait-'em-out approach, calculating that the nearer the dreaded sequester comes, the more malleable Bush will be. So far, Mitchell has prevailed over House Speaker Tom Foley, majority leader Richard Gephardt and budget chairman Leon Panetta, who, one White House official surmises, "would have preferred to wrap this up weeks...

She could write the book on most of it. She does not need a dawn trek to command explosive animal energy all day. Her touch at negotiating is magic -- people can't seem to tell whether they have come out of a deal with gold or dross, but whatever it is, they're happy. In her professional career Burns has held three positions and adored each...
