...PATRICK BUCHANAN WAS ASKED THE other day how much money he had raised so far in his second quest for the Republican presidential nomination. Knowing that Bob Dole and Phil Gramm will each report totals close to $12 million this week, Buchanan replied, "Well, I think we've raised somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 million." Standing near by, his campaign chairman (and kid sister) Bay snapped, "We passed $2 million." Hearing that, the candidate brightened and said, "We passed $2 million? It's $2 million and 37 cents...
...Buchanan is the happiest warrior of the 1996 campaign. His poor mouthing last week masked the fact that he has made more of the past six months than any other Republican hopeful besides Dole. While his other rivals have stalled or stumbled, Buchanan has become the favorite of many conservative activists, and is running statistically even with, or ahead of the much better-financed Gramm in several early states-at one-fourth Gramm's cost. There may not be enough of them to win, but Buchanan's supporters, a Dole operative acknowledges, are the "most intense" of any current candidate...
Republican presidential hopeful Pat Buchanansaid today that the U.S. should eliminate all foreign aid funding and use the money to cut taxes on American small business. Although President Clinton has called aRepublican proposal to reduce foreign aid spendingfrom $12.7 billion to $11.8 billion next year "isolationist," Buchanan is pushing the GOP to wipe out funding entirely.

Dan Quayle, their favorite son, never entered the race. Pat Buchanan, their guilty pleasure, is probably too extreme to be elected. Even before it turned out that he once invested in an R-rated film, Phil Gramm of Texas had left them cold. Until recently, so had Dole, who never showed much interest in the politics of virtue before the Christian right emerged as a power bloc...
...Another World -- recently replaced the executive producers of all three shows, which are among the four lowest-rated daytime soaps. Some soaps are working hard to boost ratings with stranger than usual story lines. On ABC's 26-year-old serial One Life to Live, Viki Lord Buchanan's multiple-personality disorder is wreaking havoc again after years of dormancy. During the mid-'80s the matronly blond heroine (played by Erika Slezak) harbored only one alter ego: racy barfly Niki Smith. But now Viki is plagued by four additional inner selves, including kidnapper Jean Randolph, corporate saboteur and future arsonist...
