As far as Dayan is concerned, it is just as well: he probably would have lost. Still, at 58, Dayan has relinquished none of the brash assertiveness that earned him a reputation as the Young Turk of the Labor Party...
...overlooked in the trade, this is the golden age of the skin-magazine business. Once dismissed as a kind of red light district of publishing, the centerfold monthlies are now piling up circulations that were undreamed of a few years ago; Playboy and Penthouse, the ranking champion and brash newcomer of the field, alone account for an estimated 20% of U.S. magazine newsstand sales.

He does not want to offend Republican regulars by seeming the brash interloper. He rejected the advice of former White House Special Counsel Charles Colson, who suggested that Connally go on national television and urge other Democrats to follow him into the G.O.P. "It would be presumptuous," said the former pillar of Texas Democracy, "to assume that the Republican Party has been breathlessly awaiting my entry...
