Sarasota County, Fla., is trying the "scarlet letter" approach, by requiring motorists convicted of drunk driving to paste bumper stickers on their cars announcing the fact. In Lincoln County, Ore., a few felons have even been given a choice between prison and publishing written apologies, accompanied by their photographs, in local newspapers.

Thus he had to neutralize conservatives, who for years have scorned him. His courtship of Religious Leader Jerry Falwell last year reeked of ambition. Bush addressed Falwell's followers and heaped extravagant praise on the preacher. A month earlier he accepted an invitation to speak at a dinner honoring New Hampshire's right-wing publisher, the late William Loeb. For years Loeb had abused Bush in print, labeling him an incompetent hypocrite and, even worse...
