The Administration's invisible man is coming out of the shadows. For two years, Robert E. Rubin has been the glue holding together the Clinton economic team, working behind the scenes to build consensus, much as he did while amassing a fortune as co-chairman of Goldman, Sachs & Company, the New York investment bank.

Here is how Newt Gingrich says someone can tell that a "revolution" is truly at hand. When he and Senator Bob Dole of Kansas had to leave an important meeting of Republicans on Friday, they left Representative Dick Armey and Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi in charge. Mr. Gingrich of Georgia, the next Speaker of the House, told this anecdote to a gathering of conservatives here, and the audience cheered wildly.

After fleeing his homeland three weeks ago to avoid arrest, Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian playwright and Nobel Prize winner, came to Washington today to publicize human rights abuses by his nation's military Government and to urge the United States to begin an economic boycott against his country. Mr. Soyinka condemned Nigeria's dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha, as "uncivilized" and "sadistic" as he criticized him for executing opponents, jailing writers and pro-democracy advocates and closing more than a dozen newspapers.

IT was just after the election, and the people who edit The Village Voice, New York's famously cantankerous weekly organ of whatever passes for counterculture these days, were gathering for their morning meeting in the office of Karen Durbin. She is the writer-turned-editor and self-described pro-sex feminist "who isn't an imitation man" who was appointed editor in chief seven months ago. Ms. Durbin had, as she often says to introduce one of her famous barrages of marathon talking, two things to say.

Gibson Greetings said yesterday that it would take a "significant" charge in the fourth quarter because one of its customers, F & M Distributors Inc., had filed for bankruptcy protection. Gibson did not disclose the size of the charge, and officials were unavailable to comment further. F & M, which operates 119 discount stores in 11 states, filed yesterday for Chapter 11 protection from creditors. F & M, based in Warren, Mich., represented less than 3 percent of Gibson's 1993 revenue of $546.9 million, Gibson said. Gibson had earlier said it would record a gain of $14.5 million in the fourth quarter as a result of a settlement with Bankers Trust over derivatives the bank sold the company.
