The strange alliance between PATRICK BUCHANAN, from the right, and Lenora Fulani, from the left, has collapsed. So there was some relief when Perot decided he would not have his name placed on the ballot after all. That, however, doesn't end the party's woes. Buchanan is the lead contender for the nomination, but he faces a strong challenge from JOHN HAGELIN, who also represents the Natural Law Party. Meanwhile, Perotians are trying to put "No endorsement" on the party's ballot. If such...
