Zyuganov can be enigmatic and vague when it suits his purposes, but his books and articles reveal a moral absolutist who sees Russia in a death struggle with the U.S. When George Bush spoke of a new world order, Zyuganov labeled the idea "geopolitical sabotage," nothing but a plot to "establish the West's global supremacy." Capitalism, Zyuganov has written, "doesn't fit in our flesh and blood, in our everyday life, in our habits and in the mentality of our society...
...compile even the slimmest of dossiers on the likely prospects, an organizing principle is emerging. The race will be won and lost in the middle-class suburbs and ethnic enclaves of Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and New Jersey. Holding those precincts means winning over independent voters who went for Bush in 1988 and Clinton in 1992 and delivered the House of Representatives to Gingrich in 1994. Whether a Midwesterner is vital isn't yet certain. But in general terms, young is preferable to old, Catholic is better than Protestant, and pro-life beats pro-choice.

At a meeting in his office on May 3, Gingrich discussed the idea of repealing George Bush's 1990 hike in tax on beer by the barrel. The Bush beer tax raised the price of a six-pack 16'. Gingrich believes a beer-tax cut, plus the gas-tax cut, is a sure way to help the G.O.P. court Joe Six-Pack and other American voters. Democrats...
...spoke up. Former President George Bush took two seconds to think about the issue and whipped off a letter declaring, "I think it would be a shame if at least one of the figures in the memorial did not show him as a man who had a disability...a courageous man who had infantile paralysis and still led our nation." Last week, on one of his furtive visits to Washington, Bush summoned Deland and Alan Reich, president of the disability organization, to his guest quarters on Jackson Place, across the street from the White House. In those shadowy old chambers...
