DONALD RUMSFELD Swing and a hit. Fourth Star Wars test a success. Program's batting average now .500

KING SIMEON II Bulgarian King, deposed in 1946 at age 9, back as Prime Minister. Hope for Al Gore!

[LOSERS]

DENNIS HASTERT Speaker, formerly Mr. Nice Guy, mugs campaign-finance-reform vote. Even Newt never did this

KARL ROVE W.'s Svengali implicated in idea to let Salvation Army ban gays. Back to Texas by fall?
