...musical performers who haven't heard the form is dead. Why isn't there a new show each year for Martin Short, who wowed Encores! audiences in Burt Bacharach's Promises, Promises? Occasionally a supreme thrush like Judy Kuhn, Judy Kaye, Rebecca Luker, Faith Prince, Debbie Gravitte or Kristin Chenoweth gets a cushy job on Broadway, but few new shows give these beguilers a chance to wrap their pipes around classic pop. Encores! does (though it pays just $700 a week for stars and chorus boys alike). "I love the concept," says Williams. "It doesn't have...
Before the Oklahoma blast, the militias could count on two freshmen Republicans in Congress for staunch support. Representative Helen Chenoweth of Idaho has publicly noted that "black helicopters" operated by the Federal Government -- a common demonic image in militia lore -- have harassed Idaho citizens. Representative Steve Stockman of Texas sent a concerned letter to Attorney General Janet Reno in March when he heard rumors that the Federal Government was about to raid local militias.

She receives support from militias beyond her state: the Militia of Montana sells videos of her campaign speeches. Chenoweth has proposed legislation that would require federal agents to get the approval of local law enforcers before carrying weapons during an arrest or investigation...
...elections. For instance, George Nethercutt, the giant-slayer Congressman who knocked off former House Speaker Tom Foley in Washington State, drew strength from radio shows where callers talked about sightings of black helicopters and U.N. plans to set up a secret compound in the state. In neighboring Idaho, Helen Chenoweth upended an environmentalist Democratic incumbent in part by saying that the only endangered species was the "white Anglo-Saxon male...
