Things went downhill from there. To prevent the Dole team from portraying the call as any kind of endorsement, Powell immediately leaked the sum of it to a reporter. That clever move annoyed folks at Dole headquarters, who felt snubbed (and, they admit, unable to put a more positive spin on the exchange). The whole episode left such a bad taste in Dole's mouth that when nervous G.O.P. fund raisers, sounding a bit like anxious parents, recently asked Dole how things were going with Powell, the candidate said he'd prefer not to talk about...
