...embrace him. Four years later he is feeling even more festive. He has a real national party; the Reform Party he founded has managed so far to get on the presidential ballot in 23 states. He even has what amounts to a primary challenger in the person of former Colorado Governor and china breaker Richard Lamm, who by announcing last week that he would indeed seek the Reform Party's nomination, has given Perot a chance to win his first miniature election...
...didn't have to, spending summers as a lumberjack in Oregon and an ore-boat deckhand on the Great Lakes. He became a C.P.A. as well as a lawyer, graduating from law school at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1961, and eventually rose through the ranks of Colorado politics. As a state legislator in the 1960s, he pushed through one of the earliest pre-Roe v. Wade laws that permitted abortion in certain circumstances, which later became a national model.

But fun with Mum is a very public affair. She is the most photographed woman in the world, who may call the media before an outing...
...summer feints and machinations of American politics have not spared the Reform Party of Ross Perot. Richard Lamm, the former Democratic Governor of Colorado, has made no secret of his long-shot hope to become the party's presidential nominee. This week he plans to announce that he will actually run for it. Then it's on to an appearance on a favorite Perot stage, CNN's Larry King Live. But two important questions remain for Lamm. Is the perpetually coy Perot still determined to run himself and merely using Lamm as a prop to generate attention? And even...
