    To the Point

    Is the Tea Party Undoing Party Unity in the GOP?

    When Republicans won control of the Congress, they appeared to be on a role. Now it's unclear whether established leaders or movement conservatives are in control. Will internal divisions limit the party's effectiveness on Capitol Hill and in next year's elections? Also, Mohamed ElBaradei returns ahead of major demonstrations in Egypt, and the New York Times and WikiLeaks.

    When Republicans won control of the Congress, they appeared to be on a role. Now it's unclear whether established leaders or movement conservatives are in control. Will internal divisions limit the party's effectiveness on Capitol Hill and in next year's elections? Also, Mohamed ElBaradei returns ahead of major demonstrations in Egypt, and the New York Times published secret documents obtained from WikiLeaks. Now the paper is publishing a book about what it learned and about WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange.
