...fellow progrowth traveler. Suddenly the hot air whooshed back into the Forbes campaign balloon. But Kemp then seemed to have second thoughts about his belated impulse. The day after he came aboard he was disturbed to learn that Forbes was planning a new round of negative ads. Kemp telephoned Dole headquarters, wanting to speak to the Senator. "The good news," said a top Dole fund raiser, "is that Dole has a short memory. He'll probably forgive Jack in about 50 years...
...finish in the New York primary, he is in danger of becoming the flat-tax Don Quixote. Realistically, what Forbes seems to be seeking is no longer the nomination but vindication. What keeps Forbes spending is an almost mystical attachment to the flat tax. Recent attacks on it by Dole and his surrogates have made Forbes' blood boil. Through gritted teeth, he says they were "trampling on the flat tax for narrow, partisan purposes rather than having a clean, clear debate." Imagine that! And when he is not gallantly defending his 17% solution, Forbes shows signs of having "been bitten...
THERE'S GOOD NEWS FOR anybody worried that the Dole rebound will mean a dull presidential race. Though he hasn't made up his mind, Ross Perot is leaning toward taking another run at it. Once again, he sees an opportunity and a rationale. Budget balancing, term limits and the reform of Medicare and Social Security are all stalled in Congress or neglected, so far, as campaign issues.

A new TIME/CNN poll indicates that in a three-way race held now, Perot would get 14% of the vote, Clinton 46% and Dole 33%. Perot's presence would draw more votes from Dole (7 points) than from Clinton (3 points). Even so, White House strategists are worried about a Candidate Perot who aims most of his fire, as he did in 1992, at the incumbent President...
...BUCHANAN KNOWS HE CAN'T BEAT BOB DOLE, SO he's picking a new fight--with Colin Powell. Sipping from a Styrofoam cup of Chardonnay during a late-night fl ight to Knoxville, Tennessee, last week, Buchanan told TIME, "If Dole wins the nomination and chooses Colin Powell as his running mate, the right-to-life movement will walk out of the convention, a good part of the Christian Coalition will walk, and the principled conservatives will battle" the Powell choice. Chief among them, he promises, will be Pat Buchanan...
