...Clinton, the decision carries some risk, since he is always in danger of looking weak on military matters. But with people like Schwarzkopf on the side of a ban, Clinton has some cover. Politically, the issue is safe since Bob Dole backs Leahy's measures. Moreover, the International Committee of the Red Cross is an outspoken opponent of mines, and Dole's wife Elizabeth is on leave as president of the American Red Cross. "A lot of the Republicans think this 'Let's ban mines' stuff is stupid, but because of Elizabeth Dole, nobody's willing to take the thing...
...cents since February, to levels as high as $2.19 per gal. in California--were provoking a chorus of angry protests from motorists and truckers. Washington, particularly sensitive to voter discontent in a presidential-election year, made a response that was uncharacteristically swift and characteristically disproportionate. Senator Bob Dole, first off the mark, proposed in a letter to President Clinton that the 1993 federal gasoline-tax increase of 4.3 cents per gal. be repealed, an action that Speaker Newt Gingrich suggested Congress could accomplish by Memorial Day.

In 1993 Americans found 4 cents on top of $1.20-per-gal. gas almost too much to bear, even while we bequeath our children dirtier air, the continued risk of war over oil and a trillion dollars in fresh debt every four years.

Bob Dole and Bill Clinton won't say so, of course. They're busy sparring over a repeal of the 4.3 cent-per-gal. gas tax the President included in his 1993 deficit-reduction plan. But pandering isn't inevitable: four years ago, Ross Perot and Paul Tsongas were calling for a new 50 cent-per-gal. tax to be phased...
...would have appreciated not only Suau and Turnley's you-are-there photos but also the very up-close shots of Newt Gingrich that won Bentley a POY first place in the news-picture-story category. For months Bentley, who these days gives TIME readers close proximity to Bob Dole, had unparalleled access to the House Speaker. "We're honored to be working with the best magazine photojournalists in the business," says TIME picture editor Michele Stephenson. Award-winning picture editor, we might add. A POY Award of Excellence went to Stephenson and deputy picture editor Richard L. Boeth...
