...Forbes attacks on Dole are constant and withering. So Dole and his advisers pore over their nightly tracking polls, which for awhile showed Forbes gaining steadily, then slipping a bit as Dole's counterattack hit home, then rising once again. By Monday night, the eve of the speeches, Dole had dipped from the mid- to high 30s down to 30, but was flattening out there. Forbes, after some ups and downs, appeared to be leveling off at 18%, while Gramm, after a brief charge during which he briefly surpassed Forbes, held around...
When you're losing support that rapidly, building a fire wall against further damage is difficult. Yet that's what the Dole forces are attempting in New Hampshire.

Analysts think both Ma and kids will have to cut prices deeply, forcing cost cuts achievable only by big layoffs...
...Pepcid's quick strike, Tagamet's ambitious counterattack and the row over advertising may look like mere skirmishes when Zantac 75 enters the fray. This acid blocker is the over-the-counter version of Zantac, the top-selling prescription drug in the world and the pride of Britain's Glaxo-Wellcome pharmaceutical stable. Prescribed for 240 million patients around the globe, Zantac last year generated $3.6 billion in sales, $2.1 billion in the U.S. And last month the over-the-counter Zantac 75 received a recommendation from an FDA advisory committee, virtually assuring its imminent approval for sale...
