WASHINGTON, D. C.: The Senate passed a landmark farm bill that would roll back crop-subsidy programs born in the Great Depression. "This is a complete departure from the past," said Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole. Passed on a 74 to 26 vote, the far-reaching House- Senate compromise plan is expected to win House approval before Congress leaves for a two-week recess March 30. Although President Clinton says he has some reservations about the bill, he is expected to sign it. The measure would wean wheat, corn and cotton farmers off the current system of crop supports...
CALIFORNIA: A convincing win Tuesday night for Bob Dole in the California primary, with its 165 G.O.P. delegates, could close the book on the pre-season and mark the start of the general campaign.

The sometimes loopily ascetic consumer crusader, who plans to run for the presidency as the candidate of the Green Party, told TIME he has been approached by several worried Democratic bigwigs, including members of Congress and their staff members. Reason: the latest Field Poll in California shows Nader drawing 6% of the vote, which in a tight race might deprive Clinton of a victory in that must...
...California primary, could hurt President Clinton's reelection bid. A Los Angeles Times poll last week showed Nader drawing five percentage points from Clinton in California, a state vital to his campaign. On the other hand, a Buchanan run in November could siphon votes from GOP nominee Bob Dole. Buchanan has said he might run if Dole does not embrace some of his conservative stances...
