Frustration over Dole's inability to formulate themes has boiled over into the public. Not long after the conservative Weekly Standard predicted a Dole defeat, former Education Secretary William Bennett complained in a speech that "there's very little enthusiasm about Bob Dole." Conservative columnist Robert Novak accused Dole's campaign of "disorganization, lack of discipline and failure to articulate a coherent message." Things have got so bad that White House spokesman Mike McCurry passed up an opportunity to criticize Dole at a Friday press briefing. Said McCurry with mock concern: "All these Republicans are pounding...
...FRANCISCO: A housewife turned syndicated columnist whose self-deprecating humor will be fondly remembered, Erma Bombeck died today at 69 from complications following a kidney transplant at a hospital in San Francisco. Bombeck began writing her column in 1965 and three years later it was nationally syndicated, appearing twice a week in over 700 newspapers. She was a correspondent on ABC's "Good Morning America" for 11 years and starred in the brief sitcom "Maggie" which lasted for only eight episodes. Bombeck was also the author of several books including "The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank...
JACK E. WHITE, a TIME national correspondent and columnist, first met Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown about 20 years ago, when Brown was working for the National Urban League. "He was very smooth and very, very savvy," says White. "You knew even then he was going to end up someplace important." The two stayed in touch. "I last saw him at a Christmas party," he says.

Amplifying a learned article that he published in 1995, Thiede has marshaled his arguments in a new book called Eyewitness to Jesus (Doubleday; 206 pages; $23.95), written with Matthew d'Ancona, a deputy editor and political columnist at London's Sunday Telegraph. As evidence of the fragments' early origins, Thiede notes that the handwriting on the Magdalen Papyrus is in a style known as uncial, which began to die out in the middle of the 1st century. A second clue to the manuscript's origins is its format. The three fragments are from a codex, a primitive kind of book...
Another classmate took the exploitation of Ted to another level: David Nyhan '62, a columnist for the Boston Globe, had the gall to boast of his affinity in a piece called "Old Classmate Resurfaces." He writes, "I didn't know him, I merely and vaguely remember seeing him around 30-plus years ago." Tell us more, Dave, please tell us more. Like how you don't remember having a conversation with him. How you recognize "the type" now--a lonely person...
