...important event [that] will probably be seen as significant in the history of African Americans." Still others, such as mayors Marc Morial of New Orleans and Michael White of Cleveland, Ohio, simply chose to say nothing. Taken together, all this may have amounted to Farrakhan's clearest signal of success: he had forced every thinking black man in America to make a painstaking decision about his march. He was, finally, where he wanted to be--on everyone's mind, whether they liked...
This piece of the game plan is the clearest evidence that Gingrich learned from the last war. As co-chairman of the House G.O.P. health-care task force, he had a ringside seat for the White House debacle on that issue in 1994. Hillary Clinton's task force froze out powerful groups while the plan was being formulated, then tried to arouse public support by portraying insurance and drug companies as the villains of American health care...
Would-be home buyers would be the clearest winners. Ann and John Pask, a Dallas couple in their early 30s, have been nervously eyeing mortgage rates as they contemplate buying a home to fit the family they plan to begin in two years. The Pasks, who support balancing the budget, hope it would bring them something tangible: a lower monthly payment.

Right now, however, the clearest loser may be the FCC itself. Any decision-from blanket exoneration to convening a hearing-is likely to draw fire. In its zeal to restrain public comment on the case, the commission in December issued a sweeping gag order-so extensive that it had the perverse effect of stirring more attention and igniting criticism of the FCC's self-conscious handling of the case. In a scathing critique, James Quello, a veteran commissioner, even noted that the fcc's general counsel told commission staffers they could go to an nbc Christmas party...
Finally, around April 1993, Q extended his network all the way to Birmingham. That city was to afford investigators the clearest glimpse into one of Q's distant branches. Following a number of scouting trips to test the local market, an enterprising threesome flew into the city to stay. Two were among Q's suspected Crip affiliates, Horace (``Dink'') Slaughter, 29, brother of Book, and Larry (``Drak'') Neal, 29, both of whom weighed more than 260 lbs. The third was a petite, reddish-haired woman from Long Beach, California, named Renee Stephens. For the team's headquarters, Stephens rented...
