Senate Democrats are poring over documents from BOB DOLE's campaign that they allege contain strong evidence of illegal coordination between the Dole effort and supposedly independent nonprofit groups in last year's election. The documents turned up on a computer hard drive that went with a Dole campaign aide to her new job at a law firm. The 200 or so pages were delivered late Friday to Senator Fred Thompson's committee investigating 1996 campaign-finance abuses; more are expected this week.

Even if the Mrs. decides not to run, the calls have side benefits. Says a Dole intimate: "Does it help her chance at future appointments if her name is in the mix? Does it help her husband's law practice? Does it help the Republican...
