WASHINGTON, D.C.: That's Ross for Boss, not Ross in a supporting role. Bob Dole's last-ditch effort to shake up the presidential race stalled when Ross Perot rebuffed Dole's request to withdraw from the campaign and throw his support to the Republican ticket. In a rare campaign speech before the National Press Club on Thursday, Perot called Dole's overture "weird and totally inconsequential" and said he was in the race to stay. Perot said he would not discuss details of his Wednesday meeting with Dole campaign manager Scott Reed. But he said, "Do I intend...

...knew Mac Bundy for more than 40 years. In the White House he was my immediate boss, and thereafter he became one of my closest friends. Your description of him was unrecognizable. "Cold"? To me and a number of other people, Mac was an intensely loyal, warm and attentive friend, caring and supportive in good times and bad. To say he "marched America with a cool and confident brilliance into the quagmire of Vietnam" is to ignore his prophetic June 30, 1965, memorandum concerning the major troop-deployment decisions that were to transform the conflict into an American...
