...teachers' unions is "the single most mystifying thing we've seen,'' says White House press secretary Mike McCurry. Notes Joe Lockhart, press secretary for the Clinton-Gore campaign: "People don't see the teachers as Big Labor, like the Steelworkers." But they do see an education system in terrible disarray, and last week's back-to-school headlines brought fresh evidence: 91,000 students without classroom space in New York City, a bankrupt board closing schools in the District of Columbia, buildings crumbling, test scores falling. Voters are looking for someone to blame, and the Dole campaign is trying...
...economy was improving and that the President would receive credit for it; in fact, only a small segment of the population enjoys whatever progress there has been. Like Bush, Yeltsin simply refused to believe that the voters would elect his opponent. Like Bush's, the Yeltsin campaign was in disarray as factions fought for control. And also as with Bush, there was no clearly focused Yeltsin message, just a melange of ideas--and even then, no disciplined plan for their delivery or appreciation of the need for such a plan...
...down next to you, they have to go through the hassle of asking you to get up and then squishing past you to get to their seat--clearly not an appealing option.

In contrast to a Dole team still in disarray, the Clintons have a filing cabinet full of responses to which they refer any time Dole takes the offensive. How to right his course? For one thing, Edwards says, "Dole needs to get the Senate back on track. He needs to have headlines saying that Bob Dole, the master...
...Windsors are pretty much in disarray, even as books about them are becoming more dangerous. The most recent is the Bradford biography of the Queen (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), due out in the U.S. in April but excerpted in the London Times in January. Bradford, the author of several respected books, was considered a trusty by the palace, but once again the royals were wrong. Among her previous subjects is Elizabeth's father, the estimable, dull George VI. From that project she probably got some good sources for the new book. Beating Kitty Kelley, who has been working on a book...
