...talking about it is part of the plan. Rule No. 1: Be presidential. Last year that meant playing the prudent, pragmatic grownup against the disruptive adolescence of Newt Gingrich. This year it means Clinton's projecting himself as a vigorous, vital, people-loving, curious, future-minded Not-Dole. Since the President won't get much cooperation from a Republican Congress, he will focus on other strategic alliances rather than push new programs that reek of Big Government--working with business leaders on TV standards, with Governors on welfare reform, with local groups advocating school uniforms.

...biggest fight in the White House is over how to handle the state of the economy. The division runs through the heart of the party. Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy went to the ramparts last month and picked up the bugle that Buchanan has been blowing in Dole's ear all along. Kennedy talked about wage stagnation and soaring corporate profits, and then he drove in the knife to Clinton's "values" crusade.

The newly discovered proworker, anticorporate stance of Pat Buchanan and Bob Dole, as well as also-ran Lamar Alexander, is antithetical to the policies each has supported for decades. Americans want to merge the mottoes "Republicans want what works" and "Democrats want what is fair." F.D.R. gave America the New Deal; Truman followed with the Fair Deal; Reagan and Bush gave us special deals for the wealthy and secret deals with arms-for-hostages. The American people are tired of deals. Americans want a guiding principle that...
