But he is considering entering primaries in Maryland, Wisconsin and Indiana to nibble away blue-collar support from Democratic contenders while pitching a national campaign based on law-and-order, busing and the economic plight of the little man.

Then they outscored the Baltimore Bullets 34 to 18 in one quarter, to win their 27th game in a row, breaking a U.S. major-league sports mark set by baseball's New York Giants in 1916.
