...Iowa triumph, Dole poured on the charm in New Hampshire. As his standings in the polls rose, so did the candidate's spirits. Monday morning he bragged about having slept in, and predicted victory. That night he donned a grandfatherly sweater vest and joined Campaign Manager Bill Brock and two TIME reporters having dinner at his hotel. "Maybe Bush's huge organization is a myth," he gloated. He began musing about new supporters. "When are we going to get Uncle Strom on board?" he inquired playfully, referring to South Carolina's right-wing Senator Thurmond. "My candidate has front runner...
Such attitudes rile policymakers who are charged with slashing billions of dollars out of already hard-hit social programs. While no one proposes cutting off the truly needy, those lobbying for reform point out that thousands of millionaires receive a monthly check. Argues Horace Brock, president of Strategic Economic Decisions Inc. in Menlo Park, Calif.: "There may have been a social contract that what you put in you got back, but not six times what you put in." Unless the system is revamped, he warns, when the baby boomers reach retirement age, Social Security will be in jeopardy. Just...
...graduating, he considered resisting the draft. His parents were supportive. "If you want to go to Canada, I'll go with you," his mother said. The dilemma was all the more acute, for Gore did not want to hurt his father's 1970 re-election fight against Republican Bill Brock, currently Secretary of Labor.

Gore's strategy of combining distinctiveness and plausibility is working. James Johnson, who ran Walter Mondale's 1984 race and who so far this year is on the sidelines, says, "Gore has passed a threshold of being a credible contender." Some prominent Republicans agree. Says Bill Brock: "While following Al Sr.'s liberalism on a lot of issues, Al Jr. is able to present himself as a mainstream Democrat. He'd be a good, tough candidate in the general election." The leaderships of the Hart campaigns in New Hampshire, Illinois, Florida and Washington State have come over to the Gore...
...flip side of novelty, the St. Louis Cardinals of Musial, Medwick, Marion and Martin, of Gibson and Brock, lately of Whitey Herzog and Ozzie Smith, are back in the play-offs for the second time in three years and the third in six. The Mets may do most of the talking (and publishing), but the Cardinals clearly do most of the winning, and outdrew New York to boot, 3 million plus a little to 3 million plus less. "If we win, just say we win, that's all we ask," says Smith, who remains galled by last year's champions...
