isn't always true that even the
noiSieSt congressional observers
can smell new law coming. The
distance from the point where
new legislation is introduced to
the point where it is written on
the statute books is no straight
line and even if it were, it would
be too great for mortal eyesight.
But when bills directed at a
single subject begin to drop in
to the hopper like ticker-tape on

speeches on the particular sub
ject begin to siZzle into white
heat, you can be pretty sure that
Congress is blowing a note you
are going to keep hearing.
