...improvise in mid-script. "The dinosaurs," he told TIME, "are closing ranks." The other campaigns, he charged last Friday, "are making anonymous calls and sending anonymous mailings distorting my record on abortion, gays in the military and Social Security." While he wouldn't name names, his campaign manager Bill Dal Col described an unholy alliance of Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan and the Christian Coalition, something that the Dole and Buchanan camps deny. "A lot of attacks are going to come my way for the simple reason that my proposals strike at the heart of the culture of Washington," Forbes declared...
...MANAGER IS NOT THE MESSAGE, BUT PRESIDENTIAL campaigns often mirror their managers. Bill Dal Col, who runs the upstart Forbes campaign, makes decisions on the fly like the head of an entrepreneurial start-up. Scott Reed, who oversees the Dole campaign, supervises his forces like the CEO of a FORTUNE 500 company. Dal Col shadows his candidate like a Secret Service agent, huddling with Forbes to make hour-to-hour decisions. Reed talks by phone with Dole at least twice a day and consults his commanders by conference call. One is a hands-on operator; the other...

...heads of this campaign's bitterest rivalry are not so much fire and ice as ice and ice. Businesslike but affable, Reed, 35, is efficiency personified. His desk is so meticulously organized that he can pinpoint an individual document in the stacks of neatly piled papers. Pale and intense, Dal Col, 39, resembles a 15th century monk in a Renaissance painting. Yes, he too is efficient ("Both Scott and I make lists of lists," he says), but Dal Col is strung a little tighter. "He never loses his temper," Dal Col says of Reed. "I sometimes blow up." Reed...
...repealing the law barring Presidents from appointing close relatives to government positions. (In a 1993 column he urged Bill Clinton to give Hillary a Cabinet position or to name her head of a federal agency.) "We expect the attacks will be personal and vicious," says campaign manager Bill Dal Col. "It's the hazing process of American politics," Forbes adds. "It's a sign of the progress we're making...
