...found it enlightening to hear from David W. Brown that only the South is capable of outrageous racism. Obviously, he did not read Joshua Kaufman's editorial on Pat Buchanan's popularity in Massachusetts that appeared next...

The delegates were tantalizing enough (392 so far), but what really had Dole operatives drooling was the sweet reward of three straight weeks of nonstop, positive and, above all, free media exposure during March.
