...Baton Rouge. Two thousand people gather on the floor of L.S.U. Assembly Center, where the Fighting Tigers play basketball. The scoreboard reads DOLE: 0 BUSH: 88. Bush's talent for tortured syntax and mixed cliches comes through when he says, "I'm disturbed when Congress pulls the plug out from under the contras." But he is having a good time -- as is the crowd -- and he dons a "Bushbackers '88" apron to serve platefuls of jambalaya to the faithful...
...Baton Rouge. Teeley and Fuller huddle about Dole's suggestions that Panama's General Noriega received millions from the CIA while Bush was director. Teeley then calls an impromptu press conference and says to the assembled reporters, "It sounds like we're in a campaign with Lyndon Larouche." The starved national reporters scribble furiously.

The Democratic leaders of the House and Senate chose their own batch of household names: Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca; Investment Banker Felix Rohatyn; Lane Kirkland, president of the AFL- CIO; and Robert Strauss, former chairman of the Democratic National...
...York City have occasionally had to warn about getting too close to a candidate. But the body watchers' unceasing presence has also led to scoops. At a Florida stop two weeks ago, ABC's Dan Noyes, 29, previously a producer on Good Morning America, instructed a cameraman to shoot Dole Campaign Chairman William Brock talking to two top aides. Later that day the aides told him Brock had fired them while ABC was filming. Noyes quickly got an affiliate station to tape an interview. That night World News Tonight was the only show to feature pictures of the firing with...
