...should have been a good week for George Bush. With the Democrats in disarray over Gary Hart, the Vice President maintains a comfortable edge over his strongest challenger, Republican Senator Robert Dole. Last week's poll for TIME by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman found Bush ahead of Dole, 40% to 20%, as the first choice of likely G.O.P. voters. After bidding Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev farewell at the airport, Bush seemed to bask in the summit's afterglow.

The family farm and peanut business, which had been in blind trust during his presidency, were mired in disarray and debt. The couple found themselves facing the bleak prospect of an unwanted retirement and uncertain future.
