...watch as a presidential candidate who won't take the medicine he needs and can't resist the poison he doesn't. For a moment last week, Bob Dole seized upon a good idea just when he needed it, a way to end the tobacco war with Katie Couric and perhaps win some points with soccer moms who worry about crime when they vote. Best of all, it was something he had wanted to do for months: end his opposition to Congress's 1994 ban on 19 types of so-called assault weapons. As majority leader, he had fought...
Elizabeth Dole's face was ready to shatter. She was sitting next to her husband while he argued with Katie Couric about smoking--and then argued some more, and some more. "I'm not certain whether it's addictive," Bob Dole insisted, like a mule-stubborn father who won't concede that his smart-aleck daughter is right.

She even vowed to make sure the FAA doesn't revise its rules: "I can't bear the thought of them changing anything. Talk about setting people back!" Even at the crash site...
...plus performance." Yet his attorneys reportedly tried to talk Simpson out of doing the interview (as they did three months ago, when he agreed to and later backed out of an interview with NBC's Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric). Their worry is that any contradictions between comments by Simpson on the tape and those he has made previously can be used against him in the civil case scheduled to begin in early April. But Simpson brushed aside their warnings, saying he needed the money. According to one insider, Simpson is broke and owes his lawyers, including Johnnie Cochran, hundreds...
