LONDON: Facing the biggest Tory defeat since the fall of Winston Churchill in 1945, Prime Minister John Major pleaded with voters Wednesday to give the Conservatives another chance. "Eighteen years is a long time,? he told one rally, ?and it's easy to overlook achievements.? But after years of bitter infighting among Conservatives, he can?t count on an 11th-hour rescue.

One memo described the re-election fix Democrats were in by late 1995: "no cash on hand, a $7 million bank debt, and approximately $1.5 to $2.0 million in obligations. Not a particularly satisfying situation." According to the memo, the DNC would need $180 million by Election day. That would require White House residents to pitch...
