AMMAN, JORDAN: Iraqui Defectors Lt. General Hussein Kamel al-Majid and his brother Col. Saddam Kamel returned to Iraq with their wives, both daughters of Saddam Hussein on Tuesday. The party moved back to Iraq in a 25-vehicle caravan after the Iraqi Revolutionary Council answered al-Majid's request for a pardon with the vague promise that he would be treated like "an ordinary citizen."

They agreed that Forbes would go easy on Buchanan, as Forbes was fishing for voters in the same anti-Washington waters. At a press conference, a TV reporter peppered Forbes with questions about Buchanan's controversial 1992 convention speech. Forbes resolutely avoided criticism, saying repeatedly, "I preferred Ronald Reagan's speech." Dal Col looked on admiringly. "We never discussed that...
